Bug ID: 442054
Summary: Cache and Resources
Product: krita
Version: 5.0.0-beta1
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Resource Management
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: keyth2363...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When selecting a resource folder things start to become weird for file
management.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure Krita > General > Resources > Resource Folder = select a new
folder
2. Restart Krita
OBSERVED RESULT
This will rebuild the folder tree(good) and will rebuild all the default files
present in the cache file(bad! it already exists in 2 locations and now it
exists in 3).
Using Krita over time will duplicate folders on both unecessary work.
Not all file types in the Resource folder will be detected
When This folder free is rebuilt(cache or resources) there is a bundle folder
and no bundles are placed inside on either.
Deleting files on the resource folder to only hold my files creates many issues
to the point the brush Preset window can become unusable and only detect the
brush in index=zero only.
Resource Folder Detected Files:
Paintool Presets
Brushes
Gradients
Resource Folder Not Detected Files:
Keyboard Shortcuts
Author File
PyKrita Scripts
Constantly spawning files in:
gamutmasks
gradients
paint tool presets
palettes
patterns
seexpr_scripts
symbols
windowlayouts
workspaces
Bundles (but with bundles placed outside the bundle folder)
EXPECTED RESULT
Resource folder to add files to Krita but act not as a duplicated folder. 2
locations with resources, Probably Cache for System forced files and
installations and Resources with user created files.
Detect more resources than just brushes, it rebuilds the whole folder tree but
does not accept them all.
Files of a given file type inside the correct folder and not outside it after
it was created for it.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
Qt Version: 5.12
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I took a look at the krita manual to try and understand if my idea of what the
resource folder was incorrect and it states currently:
"""
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/resource_management.html?highlight=resource%20folder
Resource Folder
The resource folder is considered the primary library. When creating new
resources, they will all end up here. You can configure its location in the
general preferences.
"""
This means it is user generated or user installed however this is not what
happens. I did not create these files and there they are. I think krita
standard files should not be in the cache or resource folder but if it is
really needed to edit them and have a safe guard they should be inside the
cache location only. Resources sounds to me and is in other software too
(called environment though) another folder tree like in the cache location but
has only "user files" as explained on the manual.
