Hi,
I was wondering if it’s possible to view my drawing fullscreen on a secondary monitor?
I am able to “duplicate” the drawing in Krita itself (Settings>Configure>General>tab Window>Multiple=subwindows) but that would only make a duplicate in Krita itself, I cannot place the window outside of Krita.
My situation is that I want to live videocapture only the drawing, not the program or the menu’s.
The second monitor would be a capture-card.
A workaround is capturing the dual-view (1:1) and cropping the recording to the canvas itself).
Well you can have multiple krita windows too, just do “Window->New Window” and in the new window go to “Window->New View” and there should be your already open documents.
Just tried it, it updates in the second window as you paint.
Unfortunately I don’t have a secondary monitor right now, so not sure what happens when you go into canvas-only mode on the second window.
I’ve just tried that and it seems to work ok. I have a single monitor instance of a krita window in one screen with whatever docker arrangements I like. In the other monitor I have a canvas only full-screen live copy.
I Already once did a “new window”, but thought that just opened a new (clean) instance of Krita, I looked no further…
After a “Window > New View” An then a “view > Full screen mode” my canvas went full-screen as I wanted.
Also make sure you don’t have the full-screen on the primary monitor active, and make sure to not enable fullscreen on the 2nd instance of Krita, that way you can drag the 2nd instance to the second screen and make it fullscreen then (after "Window > New view).
This “work-around” is not very intuitive…
Maybe a menu-item " sent canvas to program-monitor" would be a nice feature…
FYI, I draw like shit…(unfortunately, deep respect for those who can!) but I use the program for recording drawings that teachers make).
