Seems to be the case!
I have tested by making several new png brush tips, some unique, some transparent and some non-transparent, and importing them, some sharing the same picture but with different names.
- Seems that transparency has no effect, both works. Super!
- Importing completely new brush tips works as expected
- Importing a brush tip that is already added, but with a different name makes it import as “deleted”
(Personally, I think this should be imported as “not deleted” by default, so that the user themselves can delete the old one if they want. Alternatively show a message, and maybe allow users to rename brush tips via the Brush Editor) - Importing a brush tip that shares name with a previous brush tip do not add the brush tip at all.
(Personally, I think this should show some visual indication akin to “Not added as there is already a brush named X”. Alternatively adding the brush with a “.0001” or “1” behind it’s name)
Click to open feature ideas. These are kind of off-topic
I have some feature requests, should I make a new thread, one for each, or collect them into one larger?
These are not too important, but “nice-to-haves” I find myself wanting when using the new Resource system more.
Refresh Resources button
I do not know if this is possible or how hard it is to implement, but a “Refresh Resources” button would be brilliant, so that users do not need to restart Krita each time they do changes in the folder/resource manager. Maybe a shortcut to restart Krita could be an effective alternative?
Sort options in the Resource Manager
I would like to be able to sort by name instead of ID.
For instance, my recovered Airbrush is at the bottom of the list, instead of with the other Airbrushes. Not a big deal, but I imagine it to get gradually more messy as I develop brushes.
If this is easy to implement, file size and type as well. A fun one related to
Is to sort by most used. Also that way the user can find what brushes/patterns are not used, making it easier to delete unused ones. Though, I understand that this did sound hard to do, and might not be worth the trouble.
“Deleted indication” when “Show deleted resources” is enabled
When “Show deleted resources” is on, I think there should be a little trash can icon or a red square around the deleted ones, so they are easy to spot. To find deleted ones right now, I click the “Show deleted resources” on and off again to see where the resources move. I also do not want to click on each singular resource to see whether they are deleted or not. A little icon will speed up this process.
