I’m setting up Krita (latest version) on a new machine (windows 11), and I wanted to transfer my settings from an older version of Krita (5.0.6). To do that, I copy-pasted the various files from AppData/local and AppData/roaming.
As far as I can tell everything transferred cleanly, except for the toolbars. I can no longer modify these (add or remove items), and on starting Krita my main toolbar, which I utilize as a floating context menu while working in tablet mode, doesn’t show up at all. I can get it to show up by ‘adding items to it’. The items don’t appear in the toolbar, but it shows up at its expected place afterwards - for that session.
My guess would be that the easiest way to fix this would just be to reset whichever files track toolbar customization, but which would that be?
Do you use the same username for the new PC as you used with your old one, and in case that not, did you change the paths connected to your username in the kritarc for your new PC?
For a successful migration, you need identical usernames or must adapt the kritarc, additionally you can take the files krita-scripterrc and kritashortcutsrc with you to the new PC in case they exist (they can, but must not exist) plus the [u]whole folder krita (which is Krita’s resource folder) from the folder %APPDATA%.
And thank you very much for your compliment!
But I have only very little to do with Krita’s success, I’m only a volunteer supporting it in my spare times as good as I can, nothing more.
