Bug ID: 446223
Summary: Can't Paste a Clone Layer
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.8
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Layer Stack
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: odraenco...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Attempting to cut-paste or copy-paste a Clone Layer automatically converts it
into a Paint Layer. This means it's not possible to cut a Clone Layer from
somewhere in the stack and paste it somewhere else to quickly move it. The only
way to move a Clone Layer is by dragging it slowly through the entire stack.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Paint Layer and draw something on it.
2. Select it on the Layers docker and create a Clone Layer from it.
3. Select the Clone Layer on the Layers docker and press Ctrl-X or Ctrl+C,
alternatively, right click on the Clone Layer and click Cut Layer or Copy
Layer.
4. Press Ctrl+V or right click on the stack and click Paste Layer.
OBSERVED RESULT
What's pasted is a Paint Layer. You can edit it, and editing the first Paint
Layer you created doesn't update what has been pasted.
EXPECTED RESULT
A Clone Layer should have been pasted, so that the Clone Layer you cut
effectively just moved around, or that you've created a second clone of the
first Paint Layer.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I haven't tested all layer types, but cut-pasting a Fill Layer works as
expected.
If the Clone Layer is in a Group and you cut-paste the Group, the whole Group
is pasted as-is and the Clone Layer isn't converted.
Given the above, converting the Clone Layer to a Paint Layer is inconsistent
with how layer pasting normally works.
