Bug ID: 506975
Summary: Allow rendering video frames to a directory that
already contains video frames without deleting all of
them
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version First 5.2.9
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Animation

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm trying to make a GIF that repeats the top animation 3 times with the bottom
part of the GIF changing. I figured the easiest method would be to export the
animation 3 separate times, each time switching the visibility of the bottom
part from one layer to another, then turn it into a GIF later. Ideally, I'd
render the full animation of 7 frames as frames 0000 to 0006 PNGs, then redo it
from frames 0007 to 00013, and 0014 to 0020.
Unfortunately, even if I specify that I want numbering to start at 7, Krita
only gives me the option to delete the existing frames, EVEN IF THERE IS NO
CONFLICT. So if I have frame0006 in the directory, and I tell Krita to start
numbering at 7 so it will not generate a frame0006, it will start from
frame0007, Krita still deletes frame0006.
WORKAROUND
You can work around this by moving the frames to a different directory every
time. Or simply using a different prefix (e.g. foo0007) and renaming them
later.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The dialog that warns the user that files with a prefix already exist in a
directory should let the user choose between "delete all frames," "only replace
existing frames," or "cancel" the operation instead of a simple continue or
stop.
