Bug ID: 449592
Summary: Layer colouring option behaves inconsistently on
group/grouped layers
Product: krita
Version: 5.0.2
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Layer Stack
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: siebt...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When you have a layer group and change the group layer's colour the layers
within the folder will have their colour changed as well. When changing the
group layer's colour again, only the group layer colour changes, leaving the
layers within untouched. Video here: https://youtu.be/WSBTbcEYsHA
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a couple of layers and group them;
2. Change the group layer colour, observe which layers change colour;
3. Change the group layer colour only to anything else or remove the colour
OBSERVED RESULT
The colour changing behaves inconsistently: if the group layer is changed
initially everything within the group changes colour. If the layer group's
colour is changed or removed only that changes.
EXPECTED RESULT
If the user selects/acts only on the group layer only that should change colour
or - at the very least (but this is not the ideal behaviour in my mind) - the
behaviour should be consistent: if you want the layers within a group to change
when the group layer is changed then they should change every time.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm trying to use Krita for work and ditch Photoshop completely but I need to
be able to differentiate group layers specifically better than currently
possible and as I am autistic I find it hard to distinguish between layers and
group layers as they currently are: I need to have a lot of layers for
images/sprites variations and I always end up with a big layer stack and just
having a small folder next to the group layer doesn't differentiate it enough
for me and is overwhelming.
I really need to be able to change the group layer enough so I can distinguish
it but having to continuously change its colour, then revert the layers within
so they "read" as layers in my brain takes a lot of time when you consider how
many times a day I have to perform this action due to the nature of my work.
I understand this might not be a problem for other users and I did have to
learn to work around stuff all the time in every aspect of life but I find the
layer stuck really overwhelming to look at in its present form and it's the one
thing that kept me from using Krita after buying it on Steam for about two
years.
