Somehow I have overlooked that you have deleted the whole folder, sorry.
I had copied a huge amount of ABR files into the Brushes folder to test Krita’s limits (I didn’t know that ABR files are handled differently now) and THEN had the problem you described. The same error message and nothing was displayed in the dialog windows shown by you.
After I deleted the resource folder and to start all over also the files “krita.log, kritacrash.log, kritadisplayrc, kritarc, krita-sysinfo.log” and the directory “Krita” from the folder branch “c:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local” in Windows (so everything where Krita was in the file name), everything was displayed normally again, I could install bundles again and everything else worked again.
I added it to the list of issues. Not sure if I can finish it before beta, but if not, just use Resource Manager -> Import Resources, or Manage Resource Libraries -> Import instead.
I don’t know if this is the right place for this, and I haven’t read the whole thread so…
Well - I’m really happy you fixed the pattern thumbnails - that’s been bothering me for ages. But since then I’ve been meaning to ask if the icons could be made bigger - either as a default, or with a slider like the brushes.
Now - I’ve just by accident discovered that the pattern size is linked to the brush icons; so the function is already there! Okay - so that’s awesome!
But it would be even more awesome to have separate sliders - as I don’t need massive brush icons, but struggle to identify patterns from small icons.
edit: The hover preview is useful - but I didn’t think it was working with the stylus; Now I see that it does, but it’s not triggering consistently. I think it works if I use the mouse first to trigger a preview then switch over to the stylus.
For the hover preview: Please try to tap one of the pattern icons with the stylus and then lift it vertically upwards, maybe it will be displayed analog to the brushes.
I wasn’t sure what you meant at first - but yeah; it does seem to work if I do that.
My tablet has touch functionality so I’m not sure if that’s causing any issue. I just noticed (by accident again) that I could pinch zoom on the icons and zoom in further than the brush icon slider allows!
I tried to create a resource pack today and found several bugs.
The resource pack cannot store the website. I filled in the website when I created the resource pack, but it cannot be displayed after importing it.
The resource pack creation time is always 1970.
The update time is not displayed after the resource pack is updated.
In addition, I also feel a bit inconvenient to create a resource pack interface.
When creating the resource pack, I tried to find the brush presets I made in a bunch of brush presets, but I couldn’t filter by name or tag, I could only find them from all.
I fixed the issues in the bundle manager. Note that there is no way to update a bundle in Krita 5 (yet - unless I’m very mistaken and there is one?), but it does show the update date properly now. The changes will be in the next daily build.
It might be that that bundle just didn’t have that information? I’ll need to find my copy of Digital Atelier to check… or, you can do it, if you would be so nice - to check it, you can rename the filename.bundle to filename.zip, then extract the archive and find the file meta.xml, that will be structured, but human-readable description of the bundle. It should show something like that:
But of course with correct metadata. If the fields are empty: <meta:email></meta:email> then the Bundle Manager has no way to have this information, so it needs to be empty in the dialog too…
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<meta:meta>
<meta:generator>Krita (4.1.1)</meta:generator>
<meta:bundle-version>1</meta:bundle-version>
