Bug ID: 406763
Summary: Add similar concept to GIMP's "parasites"
Product: krita
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Scripting
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: dev.lar...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The GIMP has a concept called "parasites" in it's scripting API's.
Parasites are simple key / value pairs you can attach to many (if not all?)
objects accessible via the different scripting API's.
This allows for a plugin author to get and set state data on e.g. global,
layers, colors, transforms etc. throughout the API. Parasites are then stored
and re-loaded with each document (.kra file). So a plugin can load and save
data/state between sessions.
I've contributed COA Tools support to this plugin
https://github.com/GDquest/GDquest-art-tools and thus noticed that the project
uses layer names for a similar way to store data/state/meta-data between
sessions.
I think it's about time to air the idea and to add some kind of key/value
system that can follow a documents life-cycle, accessible from the scripting
API - before we end up contaminating e.g. Layer names etc.
(On a side note I'm also going to suggest adding user facing tag support to
layers - giving plugins the opportunity to act on user specified tags)
