please help as I love this program but it keeps goofing up

maybe you just hid the menu bar by mistake - try: ctrl+m to bring it back

Yes, that's probably it. It's a KDE feature. Note: if you press Tab, you will hide everything, and can bring it back by pressing Tab again.

I have tried control-M and tab with no effect
I am at a loss
If KDE has an answer to this please let me know

Opensuse 12.1 32 bit

you could try reseting the krita rc file by renaming it, probably ~/home/.kde4/share/config/kritarc

you could also try editing the rc file, the line might be something like MenuBar=Disabled (note: don't have Krita installed so just guessing)

You could try to restore the default. Right click on the toolbar, then on configure toolbar and it the dialog on the defaults button.

Well your direction helped- thank you very much
I found the krita config file and even with the permissions set correctly I could not edit the file. So I deleted the file and Krita started normally.
Thanks a bunch- I love this program it is just a little ways from being a killer app
The brush size should be on the menu bar- without a doubt
It would be nice to have layers with guides like Visio or Fireworks
The Text thing is sorta odd as well
I really appreciate your efforts-
Port it for Windows and you will be the next firefox

if you tried editing it with Kedit (or Kwrite) the reason is that the editor will not allow editing a file with lines that are long (no idea the actual limit) because of a bug that will corrupt the file when saving it (or so I've been informed). You could use a different editor and that should work fine.

You can put the brush size in the menu. There is a dropdown next to the sliders where you can choose brush size. Then you can use the slider for brush size.

Yes I used Kwrite- so that was the issue

thanks for the info on the brushsize

Try to get this kind of support from pay-for programs

thanks
Dan

I'd also point out that you can change the brush size any time by holding down shift and dragging horizontally. Uber speedy!

That is a great tip- is there documentation on these things?
