Hello,

Yea it first was two plugins were showing the same outcome [Zen picker](https://krita-artists.org/t/zen-picker/126951) and [Restart Krita](https://krita-artists.org/t/restart-krita/29787), but @Michelist helped me a lot in this case—he was more working on Zen picker plugin— through the process the Restart Krita plugin perfectly fine but the Zen picker seem to need some help, so I edited because I didn’t see any need to bother anyone with it anymore.

I apologize for the mess I made, I was trying to highlight the issue in case someone is going through the same issue, feel free if you see it’s better to archive it and give chance for other cases to focus on.
