R: Behavior on single click with selection tools (Artist input needed)

[silvio grosso]

Hi Sven,

> What do you think?

In order to being consistent  with Photoshop (which is the standard for *professionals*) it would be really useful to have the same options for Krita as well.

Since most tutorials on the web (and books) are done with Photshop this would allow "new users" (which are very likely to be "Windows users")  to start better with Krita.

Since Krita 2.4 beta 5 works on Windows this is even more important :-)

In essence, as with Photoshop:
- click on the canvas to "draw" your selection;
- click a second time on your canvas to delete your previous
 selection;
- on top of this, when keeping pressed the left button of your mouse (*inside* your selection) you should be able to move this very selection over the canvas

As suggested by Philippe (for Photoshop):
- Holding SHIFT should allow you to add something to  your selection;
- Holding ALT should allow you to delete something from your selection (with Gimp you should instead press Ctr to get this second option).

>From a Krita  "developer point" of view I don't know whether these are good ideas or not :-)

Hi,

I'm currently wondering how to fix this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282864 and would like to get some suggestions what to do about it.


The problem there is the following: When you have a rectangle or ellipse tool activated and only do a single click, Krita detects that and does nothing. The bug reports says that it should deselect everything in that case like other applications do. As pointed out in the bug report we are not sure if that would be good or not.


What do you think?




Sven
