bugs found when painting

I agree with almost everything, just a few notes:

-Color smudge without overlay mode works here (I rarely use overlay for
now), build from around one week ago.

-I don't see what is your issue with eraser. I've just uploaded on GHNS a
sharp eraser preset.

-the size of the brush outline is relevant or not depending on the settings
of the brush. One thing I'd like is to have cursor type saved in preset, or
a way to switch it very quickly, because for lineart presets I need
crosshair, while I need outline for painting. so it's tedious to always
switch in the preferences.

-About the sliders in preset editor and stylus, the thing actually is you
need to keep the stylus over the tablet while you edit it (for instance
stylus right-click on a value and typing numbers work, but you need to keep
the stylus over the tablet or it'll switch to the mouse/other input preset.

>
> brush editor/paintop popup

> * when changing paintop in the popup the name of the preset should be

> * the preset name edit field is always red, which is scary
> * there should be a confirmation for deleting a paintop
> * the add-preset-to-quick-palette box should have the toggle to show preset
> details instead of just the icons
>
> layerbox
>
> * still too easy to paint on a locked layer* with the color smudge brush, I
> saw the missing tiles bug. Since this bug has always been reported for the
> color smudge brush, I suspect it's something in there. See
> http://www.valdyas.org/~boud/krita_hole.png
> * moving a duplicated group layer leads to a crash (looking into this)
> * sometimes no layer at all is actually selected

> * it's really, really hard to get a good, sharp eraser. Just switching the

> canvas
>
> * we need to reinstate the fullscreen function and have it separate from
> the canvas-only function. Currently, there's no fullscreen anymore, and
> canvas-only doesn't do fullscreen. But I still want one shortcut to go
> fullscreen + canvas only...
> * I could lose the image completely by using the zoom tool. Sometimes the
> pan shortcut only worked when clicking, sometimes when hovering
>
> presets
>
> * the png export filter needs to show .kpp as an extension
>
> brush editor (toolbar + canvas)
>
> * the brush outline is often useless for complicated brush shapes: in those
> cases we should have a simplified outline
> * the size of the brush outline is sort of irrelevant to what will be
> painted
> * resizing the brush with stylus + shift is very hard: it tends to cycle --
> I would go from 10 to 5, then it would go to 0, back to ten on lifting the
> stylus
> * resizing the brush with the size slider on the toolbar with the stylus is
> very hard: it tends to reset itself as well. Click with stylus + type a
> number doesn't seem to work either, nor do the up/down buttons.
>
> All in all, a nice crop of TODO's, but not much painting done :-)
