So, there's a resource manager in 2.9, but it appears not to work fully.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341752

However, after debugging, and figuring out where the problem is, boudewijn saw that it works on OpenSuse(a linux distribution) and not on Ubuntu(a different linux distribution).

So the question is, does it work on windows(or mac?)(Or other linux distributions)
You can download all the resource bundles from the bugreport, under attachments.

Then, try to import them via edit->resources->import resource bundle.
It's specifically the brush presets bundle I worry about, so report back if you can get them to import!

Sven already semi-fixed the problem:

If it doesn't work on your system now, it should work on the next beta build!

i wonder when the next BETA will be available...it's been a while since the last one

Should be this week, but if we don't manage an official beta, I'll do Windows and OSX builds in any case.
