Bug ID: 419413
Summary: Palette docker's swatch is lost forever if the
palette's Column Count is set smaller than its
position
Product: krita
Version: nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Dockers
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tysont...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
In our documentation of the Palette docker:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/palette_docker.html
It says:
Column Count
The amount of columns in this palette. This counts for all entries. If you
accidentally make it smaller than the amount of entries that take up columns,
you can still make it bigger until the next restart of Krita.
###
In reality, if you put a color to column 18, then change the palette's Column
Count to 17, that color swatch on column 18 is gone forever. It's not listed in
the color droplist anymore, it's not coming back after you change the palette's
column count back to 18. Restarting Krita is not going to help either. So
what's point of telling the user to "make it bigger until the next restart of
Krita"? I'm translating this and it confused the glob out of me.
I don't know whether this is intended or not. If it is intended, then it's a
very dangerous feature which can easily destroy people's palettes. We should
warn the user about it when incompatible new column count is detected. The
documentation's "If you accidentally make it smaller..." should be changed to
"WARNING: If you accidentally make it smaller...the swatches outside will be
lost forever!"
Tested on: krita-4.3.0-prealpha-aad2969-x86_64
