Post release...
While some brave and intrepid souls dip their toes into the cold water of an application in alpha release, the real bugs that only surface in real use will only get reported when the application is well and truly out of the door and onto the users' desktops. And then it's too late... And of course, there's the category of bugs that are caused through fixing the bugs reported by the brave beta testers. One of those hit up on use today: Bram found that we had broken the select-all, copy sequence. That's a nasty one, and if we'd found it on Monday, we'd have called "showstopper!" and delayed the release. Oh well, it's fixed now.
Bram also wonders why Krita is in KOffice (and hence in the office menu) and not in the graphics menu. Historical reasons, my dear boy, historical reasons.In the balmy days of yesteryear, or rather 1999 (when some current KDE contributors were still in primary school...), KImageShop was started in the KOffice cvs. No doubt it would have had more loving and care if it had been a kdegraphics app, but there, that's where it was, and that's where it grew in fits and starts.
Of course, there's a case to be made for a move, and many people have made that case. On the other hand, if we manage to make Krita embed other KOffice docs as layers (with layer effects applied to them), then the integration is indisputable. In the meantime, think of Krita and Karbon as the KDE CS suite, that happens to be part of KOffice.
Which doesn't mean I don't want to see Krita included in Digikam's context menu!
