Sorry for my first post here to be a feature request and not a giant thank you to the developers for creating and maintaining the marvel of a drawing suite that is Krita, but...

I was overjoyed when I discovered Krita allowed for multiple views of the same document, immediately started using it, but hit a snag shortly: when I was hatching inside a non-maximized view (and as far as I can tell, it has to be non-maximized to allow for the other view to be shown), I kept accidentally pulling on the side of the view, resizing it.



I'd like to be able to lock a view in a certain non-maximized position, so that it can't be resized by pulling on its sides. Kinda like Dockers with that lock icon.

Okay, while I'm writing this I figured out a way to avoid this, but it only half-works. Still, here it is: you can check "Stay on top" for one of the views, then maximize the other. That way, the smaller view stays where it is, while the other one becomes borderless. But, this only works until you need to pan or zoom inside the smaller view, 'cause as soon as I click on the non-maximized smaller "Stay on top" view, it maximizes. I think this one qualifies as a bug? I'm gonna submit it.

I tried to follow the article about better feature requests, and checked manual for view instructions. I hope this is the right forum & that I didn't miss anything obvious.

I wish we could do that, but the multiple-view thing is provided by the toolkit, and short of hacking the toolkit, we cannot do anything about it. And we just cannot manage to find the time for that, with all the other things we're doing. I've long wanted to rpelace that component with something written by ourselves, but that would take at least two months of work.

Ah, I see, and thank you for your quick reply. The workaround will have to do for now, then! Should I mark the topic in some way?

Nope -- it'll get buried in new topics pretty soon. What I personally do, btw, is create a new window, a new view in the new window, and tile those.

Ooh, that just about solves it for me. Thank you!
