Getting familiar with Image Board, awesome plugin thanks Odin.
Just wondering whats the differences … “browse minus” vs “browse plus”?
Also, when selecting “Recent files” in settings, the images are very low res pixilated …
Other directory images seem good!
Browse minus and plus are shortcuts that react differently depending on the mode your in.
As for the thumbnail size. It does some odd math but all in all it makes a thumbnail of the size you give it to use so the display is as good as you allow it to be. I made it so you can even read comics on it even.
Also what operating system are you on? Do you have a display multiplier? The UI is not as intended.
What I find odd is the thumbnails for regular images are clear and Non-pixelated, whereas only the “recent” Krita files are pixelated.
I’m using Windows 10 with 125% upscale (4K monitor)
Ps … on the hope of feature request … not sure if it’s possible …
Possible to be able to Zoom into Preview “preview image” if wanting to see specific detail of a reference image for example?
Possible to be able to color pick/sample from a preview image?
That is because your feeding worse images to scale down with the recent files. if you feed the same images with a folder you will have the same exact results. you cant expect line art with lines less than a pixel to be rendered properly of course the line will disappear.
The location were I build the folder list is the same where I build the recent list and they go by the same exact transformations on all of them regardless of source list.
Also those features are already done. You will find information in the manual.
Honestly I’m not sure what you saying there …
All I know is that the same images in small thumbnail view in windows explorer do not look pixelated.
Anyhoo, nevermind, thanks anyway
Those are clearly cropped and by alot… simply not comparable 
why does the image weigh more than 200 mebibytes?
They don’t, that’s just in the screenshot capture name … they 60kb and less
Cropping has nothing to do with it … here’s a Windows thumbnail of the full image.
Does even the preview image resolution and detail depend on how large the Image Board display is? Not possible to get the same detail in Preview at small size as with Windows thumbnail? Just curious to know if I’m doing something wrong.
Also, it might have to do with the fact that I am using Windows upscaling for my 4K monitor … but when using the color picker, it selects the wrong color area as compared to where the mouse pointer is. See image.
If it is the upscaling that’s the cause of this, is there any way that you could compensate for this to be able to color pick correctly?
Imagine Board was created in windows 10 with a 4k monitor and with precisely 125% scaling!
Next version will have bilinear filtering to fix that display but don’t complain when it is performing slower the more images you need to load.
As for that color picker error it is probably because of issues with your tablet having a offset because you placed IB floating over the canvas. IB doesn’t color pick from the image but the projection of the image onto the widget … so the only way to really mess that up is to have your mouse pointer incorrect. As you can see your picking from the face on the left. Most probably it will work once you dock it even as is.
Unfortunately this is not the case.
I was sure the IB was docked before, so I tried it again now with it docked, same issue occurred.
I also was using my mouse previously when I tried it, but again tried it now with my Wacom pen mapped to Only the main working monitor, closed and rebooted and tried again, same issue.
The mouse pointer is correct in every other circumstance, whether using the mouse or using the wacom pen. Only with the IB color picker is it incorrect.
You have that but on a identical system I have this, your bug is not reproducible.
How your managing to break it I am clueless then. I codded that to be the least breakable possible as your picking the projection of the image and not the image itself there is no offset beyond that of your mouse possible.
Well if you’re clueless then I’m definitely clueless
Update!
I have found the culprit!
With (Hi-DPI) Enable fractional scale factor Enabled, this produces the problem of picking wrong color.
Anything you can do about that?
If I don’t have that enabled using UHD then other UI issues occur.
I guess I will be avoiding the Fractional Scale like the plague then. And I see also the UI inconsistencies on it. It works with just Hi-Dpi support on and with nothing activated. So basically if your seeing IB with the mode button with cropped text it is not correct.
As to how to make this work with fractional I have no idea… it is like they are messing up with the internal widget scale with that option but strangely my other plugin with the same code does not break. Like something is left out on the scale variation.
But I don’t think there is anything on the API about this topic last time I read it. I will have to keep and open eye when I read it again, but I have no real hopes there. Technically this is not me but rather, it affects me.
Okay thanks … will have to decide what is more important for me going forward … the fractional scaling or ability to color sample in IB …
Thanks anyway and for a great plugin
Hello. I just got this plugin. What exactly does the “clip image” do? doesn’t seem to do anything other than put a passepartout?
When you do as “Insert” or a “Drag and Drop” command having the clip active will crop the image before doing those operations.
I see, thank you. I thought it would work for pinning references but at least I know what its for now.
