For reporting crashes, also get the debug symbols folder.

Ah I wanted the popup palette features, where the dockers are available in the popup palette… Well next time. I have seen this feature in 5.3. so it is almost here.

Good job nevertheless!

I’ve had a problem with this new update, and I can’t report anything cuz everything is… Blocked, maybe? I’m not sure how to explain it, and since I’m using a school-issued Chromebook there isn’t much I can do.

I attached some SSs, if that helps at all. 'TvT

Looks like the DPI is too high… Does changing settings->configure Krita -> general -> Window Settings -> Enable Hi-DPI support do anything for you? (You will have to restart).

Can you otherwise share the display info? Under help->system info for bugreports, and then completely at the bottom it should say something like this

Number of screens: 1
	Screen: 0
		Name: eDP-1
		Depth: 24

I just started to run the installer, but the install path includes (x64), which is not in the original installation, so I stopped. To be clear, I am not overwriting the old, I am installing a different program?

Do I then uninstall the original 5.2.3 version?
