this is really good plug in, and its definetly something i would love to use for my main workflow but i have an issue with it, i made sure to save everything, i closed krita, and when i try to open it again, i try to load the project and it just give me an error saying “PP : Name Conflict”
which im not sure what that means because i didnt change the name or anything, and it was working before but it doesnt work now
That error means it is trying to unzip the file on a given directory but for some reason the name is already taken so to not overwrite it instantly it throws the error message.
This can mean that the folder was not saved and it may be a higher version than the zip the error is a safe guard for this.
If you update project pages to a new version now it will locate the folder that is causing you the conflict right after the error message so you may decide to delete or not. This saves time in locating things as you just need to make a decision.
But ussually you just need to delete the folder it locates.
Also I am glad you like it. It is a bit of a odd plugin but I really think it has alot utility in the long run. But since it is odd not sure what people think of it so it is nice to hear thoughts on it.
Perhaps I should make a page on the manual explaining the error messages.
Yeah, I just figured it out that I needed to delete the folder. Thought I agree, a page explaining the error messages would be nice, maybe if you make a future version of this plug in you could make the error messages a bit less vague so it is easier to understand the issue
I updated it and now the error messages give a small explanation of what is the problem and in some cases how to solve it if it is not straight forward.
hey man, sorry to bother you again, im using the updated version, error messages are really good btw, that is nice, but now when i try to open a zip file i get a script error from krita
@ENJERUNE
well it should have been working but I guess I fix stuff on my end easier when I have them. I tried to make it more resilient to changes and created a default state to fall back onto if the attempt to read fails. update and try again and if it gives an error still, try importing the files into a fresh project then save, close and the open again to see if it fails.
Please uninstall project pages before updating to krita 5.2.
the new python version will break the plugin.
New version will be out soon.
But the no dockers boot up of krita 5.2 will literally kill this plugin regardless because you will need a document open to open your project pages documents…
Which is the same problem people using Comic Book manager will be facing.
First of all Project Pages is now compatiable with the upcomming Krita 5.2. However its use is almost none as it it boots without dockers so you literally have to open a document to access the plugin so it can open the projects. this bug has been reported but it works on it or should for what I tested. It also affects Comic Book Manager and the Log viewer equally bad. This is probably reason enough for me to not use the next version of Krita though so I will be working on 5.1.
UI
The biggest change overall is the UI changes for this one. Project and Pages modes have been merged into just one display. Also notes now does not auto format text so you may write longer notes.
Using search will go find in the directory and all sub directories the Projects or Pages ( kra, jpg, png) compatible files and import them all. if you search your whole computer be prepared as it will take a while.
now once a project is open you will have access to a special menu that opens the folders inside the project. This is useful so you can access the hidden trash folder or other resource folders that you created into the project like dependencies or images. However I don’t recommend adding files in the order of the hundreds or thousands here just the immediate essential.
So now you project pages acctually auto saves with the document so there is no need to worry about saving the project after saving the document. This is why I recommend you not saving tons of files alongside your pages as each save will be compressing all files inside the project as soon as possible.
Document XML information from Imagine Board will be transferred into Project Pages. I also made cleanner to load the XML information from the files, especially the Krita version were the file was last saved.
So I detected that this plugin was not working on Linux this whole time. I did some changes to it and now it should work on the Linux side also. Honestly it should have been working from the beginning because this change is doing it in a weird way that was not made for the task unlike I was using before. This means Imagine Board is also broken the same way which is a ton of work.
Either way if someone detects more bugs tell me about it.
Also adjusted the settings behavior to not be in the way.
The settings for new pages are saved inside each project. just open the project and edit the values to what you want and it should remain consistent each time you load that project.
if it does not do that tell me what you did and your os system.
I guess you could try reimporting a blank file several times to have everything set up properly. Creating a folder inside the project so it gets bundled with it is easy. I am just not sure if that is possible through code.
