Bug ID: 511019
Summary: Request: Filter mask dialogs to be made non-modal
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version First 5.2.13
Reported In:
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Filter Layers
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
It would be nice to allow filter mask dialogs and filter mask property windows
to be non-modal. Currently layer properties are non-modal, but filter masks are
an exception.
Use case:
Users want to manipulate layers or the canvas while fiddling with with the
filter's settings, like panning/zooming/toggling layer visibility/etc.
Currently they would have to do their fiddling, close the dialog, do what they
want on the canvas, reopen the dialog, etc. It adds extra steps that you don't
have with other tools/dockers/non-modal dialogs.
Potential knock-on issues:
Undo stack integration.
Race conditions/locks/semaphores/queues with current running layer operations.
Repeated invocation of dialogs (do nothing if it's the same dialog for the same
layer?)
Potential implicit side fixes made by making the dialogs non-modal:
Parent window dimming caused by some desktop environments for modal dialogs
would no longer be an issue. See:
