Thank goodness for Krita on Mac!

Thu Feb 22, 2018 12:38 pm
Hi just a quick shout out to the developers for their hard work maintaining the Mac version. I have been digitally illustrating for years now using illustrator but hadn't taken the plunge into digital painting.
The cost and time I would have to spend learning a new package put me right off. I discovered Krita a couple of weeks ago and have been blown away.
This is the missing piece from my tool kit, theres no going back now.
I have made a donation as a gesture of appreciation for this amazing software, keep up the good work!

That would be mostly me -- we had one other guy giving a hand last year, but he's kind of dropped out... Thanks for the support!

Hi there Krita Mac devs,
Krita seems really great I"m enjoying using it on my mac.

I don't know if it is just me, but it seems really buggy. I am using a Wacom Bamboo on a MacbookAir (10.11.5). Sometimes the brush icon looks like the icon when you are scrolling horizontally, pressure mappings seem to disappear and when I press f5 they sometimes come back after I swear I didn't change anything.

Great work, but just wondering if others find Krita very stable on mac? Are things better when running under linux?

Now that Bernhard has disappeared (and he was only around for a few months), there are _no_ Krita mac developers.

There's just me, and I develop Krita on Linux, and only use the macbook to make the releases. I seldom have time to look into macOS-specific bugs, and I dislike the os and the hardware and especially the keyboard and its layout immensely. I know about the cursor bug; haven't had time to look into it. I do not have problems with the two tablets I have tested (Intuos 3 and Cintiq Hybrid Companion) though.

In any case, nobody is fixing mac-specific bugs; it seems that macOS users are extremely unlikely to actually start helping out. I am seriously thinking of just selling the macbook pro and stop making macOS packages altogether.

Cheers for all the work you have done. Thanks for the assessment. I really do like this program, I think I may pick up a linux box at home to just so that I can use it going forward.

Hi Boudewijn, thanks for your work. Krita is a blessing for Mac-users.
I am still learning the software using the keyring with Krita on both, a Mac and a tablet pc with win 10 and wacom devices.
On Mac OSX i still found only less issues. I'm unhappy that Krita 4.0 isn't supported on Yosemite any longer. For Example, on El Capitan I positioned the Advanced Color Selector on the left side. Hovering over it, parts of the popping Elements appear on my second sreen.
Finding out more, l will give reply.
Stay ahead for Mac-users.

The minimum version we can support on macOS is dependent on the minimum version Qt supports for macOS -- we can't do anything about that.

Well, after having the problems with Krita 3.3.3 not working on my iMac. Krita 4.01 works great. Thanks for the update.
