Great work on the resource rewrite! I have been testing out the latest 5.0 alphas recently, and so far they have been wonderful! It works much much better! Though, these are the bugs I have encountered when getting back to making brushes, this time using Krita 5 builds. I use Windows 10 **Importing brushes (brush tips) in the Brush Editor sometimes do not work anymore** I have two brush tips tip)\_Foily tip)\_Foilyy only the latter shows up, as I renamed it after adding white to its background, and then it showed up. It acts kinda similar to the name problem that is described below with brush presets. Deleting tip)\_Foily and renaming tip)\_Foilyy to tip)\_Foily makes nothing appear in the Brush Editor. I am uncertain as to why. Other brushes I try to import also won’t show up, though, some do! What I am starting to think might happen, is that I might have added the same pngs, but with different names. “RakurriCoolstroke”, which is a brush/brush tip with a silly WIP name, has the same png image as the one I try to add “tip)\_Flametip”. Maybe Krita detects that the brush is already there in the new version and refuses to add another where the only difference is the name? **Renaming brush presets is still broken/confusing in some regards.** (Sorry if I get a bit rambly here) My main problem: - Sometimes I get “locked out” from using names. For instance, I had a brush called “rwip)\_Aquapastel”, I tweaked it and wanted to give it a new thumbnail. I call the new version “rwip)\_Aquapastell” (with two “l”) just to be sure. The problem now is that I cannot overwrite or call the new one “rwip)\_Aquapastel”, as it will disappear. I cannot delete “rwip)\_Aquapastel” from the folder, and then rename “rwip)\_Aquapastell” in the folder to “rwip)\_Aquapastel” as that will make them both dissapear inside Krita (not in the folder). This does not make sense. - Maybe it would be better (if possible) if the name inside Krita and the name inside the resources folder always were the same? So that calling/Renaming a brush Mybrush1 inside Krita would make it be called Mybrush1 inside Krita as well as inside the folder, and then make a .backup0001 of the previous. Instead of how it is now, with the new one being Mybrush1.0001 inside the folder and still called for instance Mybrush1 inside Krita? - It’s surprisingly hard to update the brush preset’s thumbnail. Saving over an old name simply do not work for me; it will keep its old thumbnail. I have to give the brush a new name, which is annoying if I really liked the name. To kind of explain what goes wrong, I toyed around with common scenarios, and wrote down my experiences. I am sorry if it feels rambly. With the limited time I have now I haven’t spent a long time finding the most efficient ways to recreate the issues, but I think the block of text below can give an idea of why I think it’s confusing, and what might cause the problems: > **Click here for an example** > > Lets’ say I want to make a new brush > > I select “i)\_Wet\_Paint” as my brush, i change it some to make my own, and then i select “Save New Brush Preset…” > > I save it as “Mybrush1” and makes a thumbnail for it > > I click “Save” > > Now I want to make a better thumbnail for it > > I tweak the brush a bit more and makes a new thumbnail for it > I “Save New Brush Preset…” and call it the same name, “Mybrush1”, because I want to save over the old one with a new thumbnail, this is the only way to do it from within Krita. > > I click “Save” > > Even when restarting Krita, the picture is not updated, it still uses the old one. > > I change the brush again, and this time save a new preset as “Mybrush2” > > This time it works. Since it works now, I want to replace Mybrush1 with Mybrush2 > > I delete Mybrush 1 inside Krita > (Mybrush 1 is still inside the folder paintoppresets folder) > > I rename the Mybrush2 to Mybrush1 from within Krita > > I restart Krita > > Just to test, I delete the newly created Mybrush2.0001 so that the folder only contains Mybrush1 and Mybrush2 > > Now the brush is glitched > (Selecting it will make Krita select another instead.) > > Let’s try something else > > I bring back Mybrush2.0001 into the folder. > > I delete Mybrush2 from the folder, as Mybrush2.0001 is the new one > > I restart Krita > > It now works, again, but is now strangely called Mybrush1 inside Krita, but with our new thumbnail that we wanted. > > I try deleting Mybrush2.0001, restart Krita, and now I dont have any brush at all. “Mybrush1” is still in the folder, but nothing appears in Krita. > > I try to bring back Mybrush2.0001 > > Now Mybrush1 appears again inside Krita > > I rename Mybrush1 to Mybrush2 (all inside of Krita) > That works, now Mybrush2.0002 appeared in the folder, and it shows as Mybrush2 in Krita > > I now want to rename this (Mybrush2.0002) brush into Mybrush1 > And to keep my folder organized, I would delete the other ones. > I close Krita, and delete Mybrush1 and Mybrush2.0001 from the folder > > I rename Mybrush2.0002 to Mybrush1, as that is it’s correct name > > I open Krita > > Now none of the brushes (MybrushX) there anymore > > I rename Mybrush1 inside the folder to Mybrush3 and restart Krita > > Now it’s there again, weirdly called Mybrush 2 inside of Krita, but Mybrush3 inside the folder > > Let’s try to make a new brush - I want to have a brush that acts similar, and i NEED it to be called Mybrush1 > > I make a completely new brush from inside the Brush Editor > > “Save New Brush Preset”, I draw in the “paint in this area” and makes a new thumbnail. This time it works. Mybrush3 > > Let’s delete it from inside Krita. And restart. Now, as expected, only Mybrush2 shows up > > I change Mybrush2, change the tip and rename it Mybrush1 > Restart Krita > Changes did not make it as it didn’t want to save. > > Make a new brush, Mybrush4 > I delete Mybrush1 from the folder > rename the new Mybrush4 to Mybrush1 > Restart Krita > > Now both of our brushes are called Mybrush1 inside of Krita, but the names in the folder are > Mybrush3.0001 > Mybrush3 > Mybrush4.0001 > Mybrush4 > > Mybrush4.0001 and Mybrush3.0001 are probably the correct ones, so I delete the ones without the .0001 at the end, and rename my brushes > Mybrush1 > Mybrush2 > inside the folder > > Now BOTH brushes do not exist inside Krita > > I change their name inside the folder to > Mybrush5 > Mybrush6 > > Now they show, but they are again called Mybrush1 inside Krita, both of them. > > I have a hard time changing the thumbnail of already created presets, and sometimes my presets can’t be renamed to preset names I have used before, as they just disappear. This means that I can come up with the perfect name for a brush, and then kind of lock myself out of that name.
