When importing a file as reference in Krita 5 installed via AppImage or Flatpak
via drag-and-drop > Insert as Reference Image, the reference tool doesn't allow
the user to select Save Location > Link to Image. It works perfectly if you add
the reference image via the Reference Tool Options > + button (Add Reference
Image), this is odd. Besides, there is no indication of why Link to Image is
not available: it is simply grayed out.
Unfortunately, I only have a Krita 4.4.3 installed via PPA, and Krita 5.1.1
installed via AppImage and again via Flatpak, so I cannot exactly tell if the
issue comes from Krita 5 (for instance, a new behavior that always copies
dragged files as embedded pictures) or AppImage/Flatpak (due to file system
permission limitations). Krita 4 makes it work fine with both drag-and-drop and
manual add, so this should be feasible in Krita 5 too.
Workaround: always add reference files via Reference Tool Options > + button
(Add Reference Image)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new document
2. Drag and drop any picture > Insert as Reference Image,
3. In the Reference Tool Options, click on Save Location
OBSERVED RESULT
In the dropdown, Link to Image is grayed out
EXPECTED RESULT
Link to image should be selectable
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
