neat feature... I don't know if we should have this on by default though. Canvas-only mode is designed to be as distraction free as possible. Saving is something that happens automatically in the background without any user input or action. The purpose of on-canvas messages are that they are triggered only with user initiated actions.
By default, Krita auto-saves every 15 minutes. I don't know if I want a message popping up every 15 minutes while I am in the middle of trying to draw.
Hi, @scottpetrovic!
By default, Krita auto-saves every 15 minutes. I don't know if I want a message popping up every 15 minutes while I am in the middle of trying to draw.
That was an issue reported by @Bollebib in T7070. He said that having a message telling his Krita is busy autosaving would be nice. But default the message is shown only in "statusbar-free" and fullscreen modes. Technically, we can reduce the timeout of the message box if needed.
I really like the idea, though -- it is not very distracting, but it _is_ reassuring. Actually, I might be in favour of having it like this always, not just in canvas-only mode.
There is a config option to make it "always visible", so we can ask the users to test it and if they like it, just make a default
Okay, the patch seems to work as declared. I'll push it now, and after the painters give some input we might change the default settings.
yes. I am ok with going that route. From my perspective...auto-saving is something that should just work without bringing it to my attention a lot. If a lot of other artists want to have that message, I would be ok with having it being on by default.
