Krita 5.2.0, OS linux mint 21.2 cinnamon, CPU Intel i5-2400, GPU GTX 750, RAM 8 GB
At the beginning of the incident I used the hsv filter with the keyboard shortcut ctrl + u, and I waited a few seconds the dialog window did not appear, then I pressed ctrl + u again and a progress display appeared when the hsv filter was running but was stuck at 0%.
I can’t draw, save, and do other things. And will always reappear even if I press the cancel button. Maybe the way out is just a forced close, I don’t really think about this drawing because it’s just a doodle
although I guess it’s because today I opened a little more applications in the background but there is still enough space in RAM and unused swap memory.
until this topic is written the filter is still at 0%.
Update: after I closed the file, I tried drawing in 2 other files (usually I open more than 2 .kra files) and everything was normal without any problems. Then I reopened the file with the problem and an option window appeared to choose between the original file or the backup file. I opened the backup file and the filter worked fine as before. the timelapse recording file was also safe.
Your screenshot tells, that you are low on resources at that moment.
If you hover it with your mouse, it will tell you how much RAM and swap-space Krita uses at that moment.
By the way, if you were to change your Dropbox link so that you replace the zero at the end with a one, it would become a direct download without the forced visit to Dropbox.
Thanks, but it feels like this memory usage is smaller than my other drawings like when I do finishing which uses dozens of layers and many filters (on the same canvas size), especially in this case I only made a few layers and was still in the early stages of drawing (sketching and doodling).
In the recording it looks like the name is up to layer 41 but that’s not the actual number of layers because it’s just automatic naming (actually 26 layers), and many layers I put together after finishing the previous drawings. So at this point I still don’t know what the obvious cause is.
and I even just found out about this, thank you very much I will change it
After a bit of messing around with the HSV filter shortcut and rereading this post, I think I’ve found how to reproduce this problem.
Open a document, and open the filter dialog (Ctrl+U).
Without closing the filter dialog, open a second document and open the filter dialog (Ctrl+U) again.
Result: the filter gets confused, and becomes stuck at 66% percent, then 0% after trying to cancel it.
It seems like switching documents can make the “waiting for image operation to complete” dialog pop up, and after dismissing (twice) it the operation finishes. Although I also managed to make Krita hang completely and need a force-quit, in trying to reproduce this.
Although I only use the filter in one open document, and I also tried to reproduce that problem with larger files and many applications active in the background, but I couldn’t. And your answer solved my curiosity and confusion.
Thank you so much
