Shape tools create new shape layers: Bug 299844

[Michael O'Sullivan]

Hello!

I'm very impressed with Krita, and would like to contribute. I've only
started looking at the source code today though, and I'm now feeling
rather stupid.

The scratch I'd like to itch is the following bug:
Bug 299844 - using a shape tool creates new shape layer even if shape
layer selected
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299844

I've found that the "draw a path" and "draw straight line with current
brush" tools don't seemed to be influenced by this bug, so I was
hoping to compare and contrast the implementations of these tools with
those of the ellipse and rectangle shape tools. The only problem is,
I'm not sure which files the "draw a path" and "draw straight line
with current brush" tools are implemented in the krita/ui/tools
directory. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!
