Hi, I am working on a script that involves the use of the 'Select Opaque'. Been browsing the Class Reference for things I can use but no luck. The selection object doesn't seem to have such function. Is it possible to do a select opaque using python?

Also, since we are talking about something that can be found on the menu bar(Select>Select Opaque), can we use the things inside the menu bar using some lines of code? that would really make things more awesome.

For a lot of things in Krita that are on the UI like menus, you use "Actions". This is a PyQt class, so you have a lot of available things you can do with them. Krita just uses this concept for a lot of things...

from krita import *

# http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/ ... ction.html
# http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qaction.html (has most of the properties you want)
for action in Krita.instance().actions():
print(action.text())

# call action to run its code
Krita.instance().action("next_frame").trigger()

Add an indent by the print line as this forum doesn't seem to handle multiple spaces
If you just print out a list of all available actions, that should get you an idea of all of the things you can do. Select Opaque should be one

Wow, that was pretty enlightening. I got:

Code: Select all

Krita.instance().action("select_opaque").trigger()

Working great, thank you very much

By the way, you seem like you really know your stuffs in krita scripting, if you have the time, can you help me figure out what's happening here? viewtopic.php?f=139&t=155530
