Renaming toolbar buttons

[fjg3d]

In the following thread I got some help renaming toolbar buttons (thanks @emilm). However, I can’t get the action file linked there to work with the latest beta (and that thread was closed). Maybe I’m not placing it in the correct folder? I’m using the portable version but could use either.

Has using actions like this changed with dev builds of Krita 5.1 beta?

Renaming brush color blending modes in toolbar. (Settings > Configure Toolbars...)

In a previous version of krita (4 series), we had the ability to change the name of the color blending modes (and other stuff) that users can populate in the toolbar. I usually shortened them as the full name such as ‘Select Colour Dodge Blending Mode’ is so long that only a few can be place in the tool bar. Has this renaming feature been removed, or is there another way to do this?

Still works fine for me in Krita 5.1 beta 2, Krita Plus(e91e5d4) and Krita Next(bbbfefc) on macOS.

EDIT: Also tried on Windows 10 with Krita 5.1 beta 2 portable version, and it works fine there as well. (Location: Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/krita/actions/)

• Running windows 11
• Got a fresh install of krita 5.1 b2 (removing old krita was quite a pain as simply uninstalling doesn’t seem to remove all krita settings). I did a fresh install as adding the action to the action folder would somehow make the scripts disappear from Tools>Scripts menu
• Added the actions folder to the resources folder (Roaming\Krita), as it is not created during new install (it is in the programs folder, just not in the user folder).
• Placed the .action file in that new folder

…and nothing happens. The script doesn’t show up in the scripts list in krita, but the other scripts are still there now.

Do I need to initialize it somehow or should the buttons just be there when creating a new krita file?

If you deleted the settings files (kritarc) you’ll have to re-activate the python plugins you want to use under Settings → Configure Krita → Python Plugins Manager and restart Krita.

Just to make sure it’s not the action file that got messed up try with this one:

memil-blendingmodes.action

Add ’Select Color Dodge Blending Mode’ to your toolbar. It should read as ’ColorDodge⭐️’.

If that doesn’t work you might want to file a bug report.

You could also try edit the krita.action file directly (though you’ll have to redo it when updating).
On portable version located at: krita-x64-5.1.0-beta2/share/krita/actions/krita.action

Thank you! This is working now, as well as the other scripts (ten brushes importantly). I suppose I corrupted the other action somehow…

Thanks for helping!
