Problem Creating Bundles

Tue Jun 14, 2016 8:30 am
Hi everyone,

I tried to export some of my brush presets from my Linux machine at home so that I could use the same setup at work.
When I imported them yesterday morning, most of them lacked the actual brush tip (the icon in the brush palette had a black cross on to reflect that), so I thought "weird, I must have forgotten to include the brush tips in the bundles".

When I went back home I re-exported them, making sure to include the brush tips as well.

When I reimported them this morning I got the same problem, no brush tips.
I browsed the bundle file as an archive with 7zip, and I noticed there's a folder paintoppresets and one with the patterns (which I had also included), but none for the brushes.
Was it supposed to be there?

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Krita 3.0 automatically includes the brush tips that the presets use in the bundle. Which version of Krita are you using?

Agreed. There is something not perfect in lastest releases.... :(

For example, I cannot create new bundle from "concept&illustration_presets.bundle"
or "concept&illustration_brushes.bundle". :o The result is the same as above (missing brush tips & the rest)

I tried it last time on recent available version - krita-3.0-eb0d266-x64.zip (WIN7 64-bit)

P.S.
And my bug-report on some bundle-related error wasn't answered so far. :o

Yes, we are shorthanded on bugtriaging. Because there's only two people who are doing it currently, and both of those two people have also been busy with other things. If you want to help bugtriaging, here's a guide: https://krita.org/en/item/ways-to-help- ... -triaging/

I currently don't have the time to check the bundles just yet, but brush-tips should just pack along in 3.0 :/

EDIT: I tested it just now, but it seems to work for default brush-tips, but not for files coming from a bundle(user made brush-tips and presets do work). Please report a bug.

Yes, bug reports are still valuable, but I'm about 95 bugs behind when it comes to triaging and de-duplicating, and that doesn't even start to cover fixing! And that's since the 3.0 release, because I was all up to date.

We're really reaching a stage in the growing popularity of Krita where it is getting impossible me to triage all bugs, manage a host of social media platforms, doing the packaging for 3 operating systems, handle administrative stuff for the foundation, talk to journalists, fix bugs, implement features and help people on irc.

It really is becoming essential that people start dedicating time to:

* bug triaging
* packaging krita, following the guidelines instead of hacking something together themselves
* help managing social media platforms like facebook and steam.

There just isn't enough boud, dmitry or wolthera to stretch!

Okay, as of the problem I had (and some other users)...
Well, one Krita user named LUPO MARCIO has re-packed the bundle, thus he fixed the problem.
Link:
viewtopic.php?f=274&p=358684#p358617

So the case is now closed, fortunately! :)
Up to next! ;)


BTW.
There just isn't enough boud, dmitry or wolthera to stretch!

KRITA became superb painting package: more and more people started using it.... so YOU (Boud, Dmitry and Wolthera)
are surely victims of your own success, aren't you ?! ;D 8)

Hey sorry for the outrageous delay in my reply. Lots of work to do and I got distracted:)

Drayldan, what do you mean exactly by re-packaging?

Hi Paolo, sorry for very late answer (just saw it today). :o
By "re-packaging" I mean making another bundle that works (with proper MD5 checksums, etc.).
And LUPO did it well, indeed! :) I don't know the details, but it just works. :D

By the way: could you share your brushset you use in Krita, please ? ;)

This has been an issue since a while back. I'm not sure if this really is a bug, or just a slight miss in where Krita looks for the files to bundle up.

In Windows you can get around this by:
- Closing Krita
- Opening the .bundle file with your zip-file manager of choice
- Extracting all the folders except META-INF
- Moving the contents of each folder (dragging-and-dropping the actual folders should be fine in most cases) into the corresponding ones located at "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\krita\"
- Alternatively, you can try the equivalent folders in your install directory under "[INSTALL DIRECTORY]\share\krita\"
- Opening Krita up again
- Export the bundle you wanted

Always double check that the exported .bundle file contains the exported assets you wanted!
