That was a really tough decision, but in the end we all realized that office and art applications are just too different.
There is nothing shared anymore: the libraries that we used to share have been forked, so Calligra and Krita have separate and, by now, very different versions of those libraries. Given the focus on text and vector tools, how many bits of Calligra Suite does Krita still share with the original project? 30% funded.Īs usual, LGW asked project leader Boudewijn Rempt some technical questions about the development plans within the campaign. In all likeliness we are going to see at least some of the stretch goals done: it was the case for both past Kickstarter campaigns, and after the first two days this new campaign is already ca. There are also 24 stretch goals: from composition guides to reference image docker improvements to LUT baking. With the proposed features, the team aims to improve the user experience for, among others, comic book and webcomic artists.Įssentially, the team will ditch the Text tool inherited from Calligra Suite and create an easier-to-use UI for managing text and its styling, improve RTL and complex scripts support (think CJK, Devanagari), add text on path editing, non-destructive bending and distortion of text items etc.Īdditionally, they will completely switch to SVG as an internal storage format for vector graphics and improve usability of related editing tools. Krita Foundation announced their third Kickstarter project to fund development of new text and vector tools.
