Hello everyone!
It is known that Krita gets mentioned a lot for not being intuitive or user friendly and the problem with this is that this kind of feedback doesn’t always mention specific scenarios or suggestions.
As someone who has made quite a few brushes and bundles I honestly believe that one of the areas where Krita needs a revamp is in the Brush sorting and organization, specifically in the Brush Presets docker.
It currently handles brush sorting through the brush name(alphabetical order) and grouping through Tags. None of these systems are simple and straightforward and it can be really painful to get the brushes in the order you want.
My suggestion would be to fix this through the contextual menu, drag’and drop, and a group(folder) system, completely dropping the tags.
In this screenshot there’s the current contextual menu and my suggestion for it:
The first four options are the same we get in the brush editor, added here for accessibility.
Create New Group / Move Brush preset to Group: These are self explanatory, more on groups later.
Reset Bundles to Default: This is a much needed “safety measure”. A lot of users like to tweak and experiment with brushes knowing that there’s an option to revert everything to normal. This would reset all the bundles(and brushes within) to their default state, including restoring deleted brushes.
Delete brush preset: …
Next there’s the Brush drag’and drop in the list and thumbnail view.
Click, drag the brush to where you want it, drop and it stays there.
And last the Groups:
I imagine the groups as folders that can be collapsed vertically, and can also be dragged.
Unlike Tags, there’s no way to have the same brush in multiple groups. This would be managed the same way as in any other software: duplicate the brush and move it to the desired group.
I think that’s all. Let me know what everyone thinks and thank you for your time and attention! ![]()
