I had to use Windows version to show her capabilities of Krita, because at work/home she uses
Mac/Windows only. So here I'd like to tell about the issues I found during testing:<br>
<br>1) It crashes randomly. This usually happens while painting or while changing the settings of the brush or choosing a preset or doing some other action. I couldn't see a backtrace, but this happens only when you do something, so it is surely *not* an auto-saving bug.<br>
<br>2) Shift+Drag gesture is sometimes (for some kinds of brushes) very slow. I remember I was fixing this problem, but it is still the case in some cases.<br><br>3) Shift+Alt+Space gesture doesn't work. The reason is probably that Shift+Alt is the default shortcut for switching languages in Windows. Just for you know, Photoshop can somehow workaround this problem<br>
<br>4) Pressing the "Edit Brush Settings" twice does *not* hide the dialog --- it opens it twice instead. Due to this effect the user must click on the canvas, which starts a stroke and paints on the image. <br>
<br>5) "Edit Brush Settings" dialog doesn't fit the wide-format laptop screen (I guess it was a 15" laptop).<br><br>6) Selection Tool decoration is not seen when you paint it. That means you have to paint the selection without seeing what you actually paint. The decoration appears only *after* you finish the stroke. I have seen such effect when I disabled Double Buffering in opengl on Linux.<br>
<br>7) Warp Transform Tool works unutterably slow on Windows. I cannot explain it, but one simply cannot use it.<br><br>8) The preview of the Warp Tool in Custom Points mode is cropped by the rectangle, covering the points. The rest of the image is somehow hidden.<br>
<br>9) The brush outline is quite difficult to see, especially in QPainter canvas mode.<br><br>Ok, although there are still many regressions with regards to the Linux version, I guess current openGL implementation for Windows is rather nice! ;) It works quite fast and smooth. All the canvas transformations like canvas rotation and zooming work impressively :) Of course we need to give a bit more love to the WIndows version. Speaking truly, I think Windows version is essential to get more popularity among studios (at least in Russia).<br clear="all">
