Bug ID: 476026
Summary: Continuous crop feature is disruptive when working
with expensive filters/fills
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.2.0
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tomtomtomreportin...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The continuous crop component of the crop tool is too disruptive when re-doing
crops of artwork involving expensive filters or fills.
The continuous crop feature is officially described here:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/crop.html#continuous-crop
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Draw a few circles in a large 3k x 4k document.
2. Add a gaussian blur filter layer with max radius.
3. Crop the image to roughly half the size.
4. Click again with the crop tool.
OBSERVED RESULT
A prompt shows up, waiting for the expensive filter operation to complete as
the document has returned to its original size.
EXPECTED RESULT
Either there should be some sort of caching, or the UX of this aspect of
cropping should be rethought. Personally, I wouldn't expect attempting to do
another crop would essentially act as an undo.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Sid
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8
