Potential improvements to Inherit Alpha in Krita

[TheTwo]

There is one place to ignore: “Layer Properties”

I designed a model for it with clipmask added:

I’m meant all the buttons on the right of the layers. Maybe it’s better to put them in a toolbar, like csp:

With reference layer I mean the ability of explicitly marking a layer as reference, to later use them as reference in tools like the fill tool (instesd of using color labels). In csp is the button with the lighthouse icon.

The downside is that you have to select the layer before changing one of those properties. Also it would have to be some indications in the layer row so that one knows what is activated without selecting.

One thing is clear, if some new options need to be implemented they need to be placed somewhere, and people don’t want the layer space to be reduced by buttons, so I don’t know.

If you take into account the “pass through” option for groups and the “onion skinning” option for animations, I feel like it’s a bit complicated since they’re not universal…
But reducing the opacity slider is a good option in my opinion, it doesn’t seem to need that much space. The options for Blending modes can also be scaled down, as in mr

Two more icons can be placed here because docker has reached the minimum width.

Also, there is a python plugin by @LunarKreatures worth mentioning：
