So… why the multi-brush tool? What is so interesting about that particular “tool” that it would kill Krita every time I click on it?

It just happens to store its config differently than other tools.
There was a bit of refactoring in the tool code that moved some things around and caused a warning/error, and the fix for that unintentionally led to the widget being initialized before said config, which was an easy thing to miss as only that one tool relied on it.
The crash was reported a week after the regression that caused it, and fixed a few days after that, but by oversight, only in the 5.3 branch. About two weeks later, it was re-reported (earlier in this thread) and fixed in the 5.2 branch as well. (As you’ve noted, that means the fix is in RC1.)

That is the purpose of beta testing: to make sure everything works correctly before a release, as it can be hard for the small team of developers and contributors to test all the intended and unintended consequences of their changes themselves, even when it happens to cause a major and highly user-visible bug.

When you compare this to a commerical software, it’s a different story: they probably have lots more developers and testers, and users only have access to the final, stable release.

One last comment (which is going to raise the eyebrows I’m sure): I

@larrycross

I know I’m comparing apples to oranges but if an orange works flawlessly and the apple does not, maybe it’s time to switch fruits lol

Don’t worry about what the world thinks, do what your heart says you can and are free to taste any fruit that suits your palette (deliberate typo with pun)

thanks everyone. I’ll spend some time with RC1 hopefully it fixed my momentary freezing problem. The problem was too random to replicate easily so I’ll start some new projects and see how it goes. Cheers

When i Create new layers it takes a bit of time for Krita creating it. in Krita 5.2.1. Why this happens?

I talked about this recently. but I didn’t get any response. I guess they didn’t notice.

While playing the animation it is not real time!

The video on the left belongs to krita. The video on the right belongs to videoplayer. Although the video on the left starts first, it lags towards the end. So since the video on the right is 24 fps. It can play the image on the left at 20 fps. This is misleading. note: yes, drop frames are on, clip default frame rate is 24. 1280x720 on canvas. So it’s not very big. pc-win10 i7-4790 3.60ghz / nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6gb krita 5.3.0 prealpha git dda76a2

I think the layer thumbnail generation was changed by @dkazakov and that is affecting this

Then we will talk in the meeting about this. Thanks @raghukamath
