Bug ID: 390371
Summary: Polygonal Selection tool - modes
Product: krita
Version: 3.3.1
Platform: Mac OS X Disk Images
OS: OS X
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability
Assignee: krita-bugs-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---

After decades I got tired to switch to additive selection mode (add)-whatever
2d software I use -why bothering with a simple selection (replace) in first
place? Really not needed the simple mode.. Really. Beehive me.

Add should be default selection mode. If you don't add, OK... Then the command
add doesn't do anything by itself. Subtract is to correct mistake made with
add... Intersect is rather "special" in an everyday use and - its not the main
mode you are gonna using

replace is the default currently. That is what most people use so we are
leaving it as the default for now.

One reason we won't change this is that no other applications has "add" mode as
the default. This would make krita pretty intuitive as it would work different
than every other application.

My intention was to improve a common function, because *nobody* asks for it.
*the standard* of all measures is Photoshop for 2d related applications, which
is superstitious and disgusting.
Krita needs not to bowing in front of other applications because it's more
innovative and intuitive than the competition. Let's drop prehistoric features
and focus on improvement not emulation. Krita should write new rule as little
as those steps are.
