And why would, I, as a developer, spend time on supporting "screenshot-based automation" in a painting application?

That was first tried in 1998, at the Linux Kongress, in the KImp presentation. All links to that seem to have died in the 27 years since then.

Yeah. We need to do lots of low-level stuff, and things related to GPU have changed a lot from Qt to Qt.

To be honest, I still reference my paper copy of the Windows 1995 Interface Guidelines from time to time, when people propose new features for Krita. They are not always useful, but at least they don't change all the time.

Oh, noes... A post that has this in the second paragraph: "I'll hope you, dear reader, will forgive me for making this a really personal post; a very large part of my life has been tied up with Krita, and it's going to show.&

Well, as Halla, the Krita maintainer, I kind agree. Image manipulation is not a goal. But for animation, we have a very specific goal. What we want to see is someone doing a looney Tunes like hand-drawn animation in Krita. And I've see

I, as the Krita maintainer, hereby give everyone the right to verb the trademarked name "krita". Whether it's I "krittered that concept" or "I kritaed that sketch" -- it's fine! The only thing you can

I think my blog is also a pretty good place, albeit probably uninteresting to most if not all people. But it's my place, and nobody else influences me.

How could I stop using them? I never started using plastic cutting boards. That said, my wooden cutting board is getting to be quite hollow...

Westernized? The creator of the mascot and the artist of the splash screens is actually Chinese...

No, it's still actual, but they don't have a listing the fund.krita.org database because they sponsored us directly.

"managers" -- if there are managers on top of the maintainers, then, yes, it won't work.

We didn't do an update on that, because that post got us into big trouble with inland revenue (Dutch) in 2017...

You can still sideload it, but a phone-suitable UX is going to take a year, or two, three.

Heh. If any of the official Kiki images has a Kiki with melon-sized boobs, _I_ would have melon-sized boobs, and I've only been on HRT for a year and a half, and am an A-cup. (Aspiring to a B-cup, though!)

Yeah... The thing is, the current UI isn't really good for small screens, so when we teamed up with Google to bring Krita to Android and ChromeOS, we only targeted large-screen devices. We are trying to add a UX suitable for small-scre

Clip Studio's text tools are really primitive, yes... And we're aware of the challenges. At least three people in the core team do make comics, too :-) And we want to support vertical text, RTL, ruby and all of that. But in this t

MDI subwindows work fine with canvas acceleration, though...

Yes, on-canvas editing of text is a project for this year, and probably most of next year. All in all we're spending tens of thousands of euros on the text shape and text tool, in the hope that now we're doing this for the fourth

There is no longer any development work done in Russia.

Yup, Kiki is a cybersquirrel, so an android. For a fuller set of ex-splashes, check https://krita.org/en/about/kiki/ . The current splash was inspired by https://www.nga.gov/collection/ar

They let him go??? That's... Words fail.

Yes. They never are. A recent study investigated this and neither stock price nor productivity nor profitability improved. All mass layoffs do is crater employee morale. And yes, it's a "others are jumping into the lake with their

Heh, we had a Franklin Apple II clone in high school (in the Netherlands). It's what the pupils who had graduated from using the Newbrain class computers were allowed to use. Not that we got access to the manual, of course. At first, c

We have eight sponsored developers and about six million users. I don't think we're gonna asphyxiate any time soon :-)

Except that GIMP never has claimed that. Sure, some users of GIMP have made that claim, and many reviews in magazines (back when those still existed) and on website have made that claim, but the GIMP people have always made clear that they
