You probably even can activate high-quality scaling now!

If I choose "High Quality Filtering" option under "Scaling Mode" in the OpenGL settings. Yes it does work!

this is a very exciting forum thread to follow.

Old 27" iMac Core i7 2009, OS X 10.10.5. Build krita-3.0.1-nimmy2 launches properly. Thanks.

Thank you devs.

I'm trying 'nimmy2' build for a day now, and it works great. The canvas viewport is much more performant now.

This is very exciting progress.

Good to hear Sinanh

On iMac 5K.. OpenGL seems to work fine! except for the quite flooded console when starting krita from terminal..

BTW When using the line tool every line is drawn but another line from 0,0 to start of line is drawn also.. is this typical for this build or how to report this seperately?

Thanks,

Yes, the opengl output looks good. We've had other reports about that behaviour of the line tool. Weirdly enough, I cannot reproduce it, but it's already in bugzilla.

Acitvating "OpenGL" (Trilinear Filtering with "use texture buffer") and then opening the popup palette crashes the app. The app also crashes when deactivating OpenGL and opening the popup palette.

However after restarting the app everything works fine (with AND without OpenGL).

Hm, I cannot reproduce that. The popup palette and hud work for me.

I'm able to reproduce the issue. I don't think it really matters which mode you switch OpenGL to, so long as you switch it. Here is the backtrace if it helps:

--- edit ---

I'm currently using 3.0.1 Nimmy2, and I'm absolutely lovin' it. It feels much more stable than the official release. Keystrokes are still weird thou. I had to customize the Zoom In In keystroke. By default, it displays as Command +. When I customize it with the exact same keystroke, it displays as Command =. Using the Spacebar for the Pan tool is hit or miss. It handles large files pretty well. Brushes respond well, as long as they aren't any bigger than 200 px.

I love all of the extra brushes, which didn't exist in the official release. I'm currently using a MacBook (13 inch, Mid 2009), 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, running OS X 10.9.5. Open GL is currently turned off. I'll try starting it via the Terminal later.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Great to hear that the build is working well for you. I should note however, that the primary objective of
this test build is to test if OpenGL works on all these Mac computers. The difference with previous builds
apart from all the general changes that happened for every platform is that you should now have the ability
to enable Instant Preview and High Quality Filtering.

Instant preview is a mechanism that allows you to paint with very big brushstrokes (say 200px+) on your canvas
without the program becoming sluggish. It does this by showing you a lower quality version of the stroke while
calculating the actual stroke in the background. You can enable it by going to View and ticking "Instant Preview Mode"
(Provided you have OpenGL enabled).
In addition you can enable High Quality Filtering by going to Settings -> Configure Krita -> Display.

If you experience bugs on Mac unrelated to OpenGL we would love to hear about them too of course, but then may
I ask you to report these bugs over here as well: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?prod ... mat=guided.
This allows us to keep track of them and to schedule them to be fixed.

Thank you for your feedback!

I'm getting horrible artifacts when trying to paint with most brushes. Here is an example image:
