Bug ID: 397320
Summary: [Wish] No obvious way to probe the dirty/modified flag
of the active document
Product: krita
Version: nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Scripting
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nevinevi...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
I've been advised to open a wishbug for this.
I am in the process of writing simple Python plugin. In short, I have a docker
with two buttons for iterating back/forth through files from a given directory,
replacing the open document with a new one. This operation implies that if the
active document has unsaved changes they will be irreversibly lost. A
possibility could be to always save the open file before switching it, but in
this way iterating through the existing file list becomes much slower.
Unnecessarily modifying files is generally not desirable on reliability and
performance grounds.
Therefore it would be useful to check out in advance if the active document has
any unsaved changes.
Oddly enough, I couldn't find any obviously named class member in the Krita
Python API documentation for checking the modified/dirty status of a document,
like for example something like isDirty(), or isModified(), etc. According to
one developer on the official #Krita IRC channel, this doesn't seem to be
currently possible.
An alternative could be making Document::save() operate in a way that it
doesn't actually save the document if no changes are detected, but it could be
a potentially breaking change, and being able to save the document despite not
having actually modified it could potentially have uses for some people.
