See https://krita.org/en/item/experimental- ... available/ -- basically, this is the place where OSX users should report and discuss their experiences with the special disk image we created after fixing Qt to support OSX's OpenGL implementation. All Krita's opengl-related features (wraparound mode, high-quality scaling, canvas rotating and mirroring) should work, all the tools should show their decorations correctly, Wacom tablets should work fine.

UPDATE: this new build includes all 3.0.1 fixes and an extra fix for the HUD crash. It also should actually be packaging a correct build from the correct branch...

Here's the image: http://files.kde.org/krita/3/osx/devbui ... nimmy2.dmg

Note: this image is not a full 3.0.1, it is missing some functionality and bug fixes compared to 3.0.1, but those are not OSX specific.

One interesting thing is to start krita from the command line: open the terminal app, navigate to where you copied Krita from the DMG and start krita like this:

$ ./krita/app/Contents/MacOS/krita

That will print out lots of stuff, including what Qt has detected about the opengl settings. For me this is:

Here's my output: https://bpaste.net/show/a355e11376e1

It seems Krita is not trying hard enough to grab the OpenGL Core Profile, or what?

I'm on a Macbook Air with 8GB RAM. It supports OpenGL 4.1.

Same on the Mac Mini:

krita has opengl true

But there isn't much we can do. We ask for 3.2 Core Profile; if we ask for 3.0 Core Profile, what we get is 2.1 -- at least on the macbook pro.

Thanks for the build. Is there anything special we should test? Or just use it as normal and post all bugs we find in this thread?

First bug: Trying to open the popup palette crashes the app (both with and without having OpenGL activated)

No, only bugs that are related to the what this branch is about: the opengl display.

All right.

I'm a new user and I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to OpenGl. So far, I have encountered no problems when using the program.

There's a thousand more "Invalid entry" lines for some reason. I'm using a 13" Retina Macbook Pro.

Hm, all these Intel HD 3000, 5000, 6100 systems don't get OpenGL 3.2 or better -- that is not good.

What does that mean? It will be hard to optimise?

No, it means there's something funky going on with the package I made -- which was missing one or two fixes in any case. I will update the build.

Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro (13inch, Early 2015), 8GB Ram, Intel Core i5, Intel Iris Graphics 6100.

This build seems to work fine. I have enabled OpenGL (which I usually have off), and it seems to work.

Wrap around mode works, which didn't before, but "Instant Preview Mode" failed to activate.

I'll report any issues I find in this thread.

Sinanh, is that with the beta-nimmy dmg or the nimmy2 dmg? If the former, please test the latter

Can confirm the second build works. It's free of OpenGL patching problems, and instant preview works. My system may not have good enough specs to perhaps experience instant preview as it's intended to be used, but when you try to toggle it, it indicates that it's active/deactivated.

@boudewijn

I was using "nimmy1" and Instant Preview failed to activate.

However, I just downloaded "nimmy2" and Instant Preview works! It says "Instant Preview is ON".

Wrap around mode works in both.

I should also say that I'm using OSX El Capitan 10.11.6. OSX Build: 15G1004.

In Krita, I have OpenGL ON, Trilinear Filtering ON, and "Use Texture Buffer" to ON.
