Bug ID: 414643
Summary: "Create From Clipboard" inserts image as an alpha mask
when background is set to fill layer
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.8
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jshortho...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When using the "create from clipboard" functionality if the background type in
the "Content" tab is set to "As fill layer" the clipboard image is inserted as
an alpha mask to the background layer.
I would have expected that when using this feature the clipboard image would be
inserted on a raster layer above the background layer. I don't think the
current behaviour is expected or useful, the resultant image does not resemble
what was in the clipboard.
The reason this is a problem is that I always use the fill layer background
type when creating normal documents, and this preference is also applied when
creating from clipboard. To work around this issue I would have to manually
change the background type every time.
I suggest that either a) the preferences for "custom document" and "create from
clipboard" are split from each other so I can have one background type for one
and one for the other, or b) the background type is ignored and a raster layer
is always used or c) whenever "fill layer" is selected a new raster layer with
the image is always inserted above the background.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to File > New > Create from Clipboard
2. In the content tab set the background to "As fill layer"
3. Set layers to 2
4. Click create
OBSERVED RESULT
A fill background with the image as an alpha channel is created. The raster
layer above is completely empty. The document does not resemble the clipboard
image.
EXPECTED RESULT
A fill background layer is created with a raster layer containing the image
above it.
