Krita doesn't actually work with some resource files missing in the package

[wszqkzqk]

Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

Run krita, and it will show:

You don't have any resource bundles enabled.
There are no brush presets available. Please enable a bundle that has presets before continuing.

To ignore these warnings to simply draw a picture will cause the crash of the program.

Expected behavior

No missing resource files and works normally.

Actual behavior

Continously shows errors.

Arch adds this when configuring cmake: -DBUILD_KRITA_QT_DESIGNER_PLUGINS=ON

OK, I'll have a test.

I tried this on CLANGARM64 and ran into the same issue. But once I imported the krita 4 bundle from the source files it seems happy? Didn't test too extensively though. I think maybe the package as written doesn't import the bundles into the %APPDATA%\krita\ location it expects?

Thank you for looking into the issue. Could you provide the full path of those files?

[jgbabyn]

After I clicked OK on the error message shown in the screenshot Krita asked me to import a bundle. I loaded ".\mingw-w64-krita\src\krita-5.1.5\krita\data\bundles\Krita_4_Default_Resources.bundle" where ."\mingw-w64-krita" is the folder I built the package in. I think the standard Krita installer might load all the bundles in the bundles folder however.

Can anyone check if running krita with this command fixes the issue krita --resource-location $MINGW_PREFIX/bin/data ?

[jgbabyn]

Yes that works, I tested it after removing the %APPDATA%\krita folder which recreates the original error. Specifying the resource location as $MINGW_PREFIX/bin/data works.

[Biswa96]

It seems that changing the resource location with --resource-location option also writes some user generated files in $MINGW_PREFIX/bin/data. A different approach would be needed.

Krita can't be used since it expects brush bundles otherwise it doesn't work. So it seems I got the same error
