Bug ID: 457651
Summary: PLEASE KRITA TEAM: REMOVE THE DIALOG BOX THAT APPEARS
EVERY TIME YOU PASTE AN IMAGE, it's unnecessary and
takes up your time
Product: krita
Version: 5.1.0-beta1
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Tools/Reference Images
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ale97c...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I selected "reference images" tool, but also this also happens with the regular
"copy & paste", something I use a lot as well, maybe much more than that
mentioned tool.
If you thought that adding a dialog box that asks you "Do you want to download
the image at" would be a good idea, I have to tell you, with all due respect,
that this was a terrible idea:
And to top it off, the NO button is preset. If you use the keyboard with its
shortcuts (like me) it's not enough just pressing enter, but you also have to
use the arrow keys to select YES.
Maybe you did this, because you thought that "downloading an image takes time
and space, and you wanted the user to be aware of that". But I'm afraid to tell
you that this doesn't make sense, since the user knows perfectly well that she
wants to download the image, every time he copies and pastes.
And I think this is a big deal, for two reasons:
1-I am a person who uses a lot of reference images, especially because I'm
learning to draw. And you know how important it is to use a lot of reference
images, otherwise you wouldn't have created a specific tool related to it.
2-Adding that picture is completely against the spirit of Krita. Both the
Pop-Up Pallete and the recent multiple fill tool, were made to save artists
time and have an intuitive experience. And that dialog box is not intuitive or
time saving at all.
And if you really think not adding this dialogue box can "actually" harm the
artist, then at least on:
General settings> Miscalleaneous > "When pasting into Krita from other
applications".
Add a checkbox that says: "Ask if you want to download the image", and that's
it, that way the user won't get bothered.
I personally don't mind at all having to wait a few seconds for the image to
download. Honestly it bothers me much more that I can't cancel the process of
the loading bar at the bottom right, after selecting the canvas with the Fill
tool by accident. But that's another story I'll tell you in another report.
Sorry if I seemed tough, but believe or not, I say all this because I love the
app very much, I think you are heroes, I respect you are creating something
that helps thousands of artists around the world with your talent and
dedication, please don't throw it away with dumb decisions like this.
