Needed a more seamless way to save my documents and export them as png files so i got inspired by user alfredbaudisch’s post
to bypass export dialog and save the two files with one script.
This script saves the files under the name ‘file+incremental number’ but only if the active document is unsaved. If you open the document under a different name/change the name of the document, that name will not be changed and the png file will be created under the same name.
Script
from krita import *
import os.path
from pathlib import Path
currentDocument = Krita.instance().activeDocument()
currentDocument.setBatchmode(True) # do not display export dialog box
pngOptions=InfoObject()
pngOptions.setProperty('compression', 2) # 0 (no compression) to 9 (max compression)
pngOptions.setProperty('indexed', False)
pngOptions.setProperty('interlaced', False)
pngOptions.setProperty('saveSRGBProfile', False)
pngOptions.setProperty('forceSRGB', True)
pngOptions.setProperty('alpha', True)
fileName = currentDocument.fileName()
if fileName == '':
serialName = # insert path/file
serialNumber = 0
fileName=serialName+str(serialNumber)+'.kra'
while Path(fileName).is_file():
serialNumber+=1
fileName=serialName+str(serialNumber)+'.kra'
currentDocument.saveAs(fileName)
nameExt=fileName.split('.')
newDocument = currentDocument.exportImage(nameExt[0]+'.png',pngOptions)
Usage
The script need to be saved as a .py document and then ‘imported’ through Tools>Scripts>Ten scripts
To make it easier to use I changed the default first script shortcut (Shift+Cmd+1) to the default saving shortcut (Cmd+s), this can be done in Krita>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts as shown below.
I found that this worked without issues for my needs but feel free to let me know if any particular issue arises.
