Bug ID: 499568
Summary: Command line export-sequence fails if file already
exists
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.2.6
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Animation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Attempting to export an animation sequence from the command line results in an
error if the exported files already exist. This does not happen when exporting
a non-sequence, single image.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a document with an animation in it: test.kra
2. Exit Krita (cannot export with Krita open due to another bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460631).
3. Export the document's animation:
krita --export-sequence --export-filename test.png test.kra
4. Run the same export command again (as if you had edited the document and
wanted to update the output).
OBSERVED RESULT
krita.general: "Failed to render animation frames!"
EXPECTED RESULT
The target files are overwritten.
Or, if this is not acceptable, then a more clear error could be given like:
"Failed to render animation frames! Output files cannot be overwritten with
export-sequence."
WORKAROUND
Delete the files before running the export command.
