i m using krita for mac , and i downloaded also some brushes that i would like to add.

someone said that i should add them in users/USERNAME/library/preferences/kde/share/apps/krita
but i can t find the folder "kde" in the library.

installing krita on mac, i just have a folder with krita app , terms of use and applications.

any ideas?

In 2.8, under edit->resources there's an option called 'open resource folder', in 2.9 it's under settings->resource manager. We put that option there because we often had this problem.

You can also try to import brush by clicking the button just left of the brush-blending modes in the top-bar. You'll find that it's a mini-brush docker. Use the blue iconed file button to import .kpp brushes.

A similar thing exists under the predefined brush-tips in the brush-settings, but then for brush-masks/tips. For gradients use the gradient button in the toolbar, patterns the pattern docker, palettes the palette docker, etc.

EDIT: I don't know much about macs, but the .kde folder might be hidden like it is on linux. Try showing hidden folders?

thank you for your explaination! if i click "open resource folder"(in "edit" ) nothing happens. if i click "import resources", the window appears, so i think i can select the brushes and add them from there.

ps: solved problem with hidden files. thank you again, i thought i had alreay solved before but i was wrong.

Nah, open resource folder doesn't work on OSX. I don't know why, maybe a Qt bug. I do find my krita folders in ~/Library/Preferences/kde/ though.
