plugin working

Installation

Download the zip from github (press the code button> download zip, or click the tags in release and download the zip from there), open krita then go to:
Tools>scripts>import plugin from file
Click ok and close and open krita.

Or follow the manual installation:

1- Copy the contents of the plugin folder into the pykrita folder in the krita resource folder (accessible through settings>manage resources>open resource folder).
The folder label-box need to be completely moved (moving just the files inside will not work).
2- Open krita, go to settings>configure krita> python plugin manager. Locate the Label Box and check it.
3- Restart krita. It should appear in the layer docker.

How to use

Once the plugin is installed you can just choose the color label and click to apply to selected layers.

  • It also works if you put your mouse on top of the box and scroll.
  • It works for one or multiple layers

Now one thing that people will notice:

the color box will always stay in the last chosen color, even if you select a layer that already has a color label, the box will not be updated.

Why doesnt the box update?
I just couldnt find a way to check if the current layer was changed, the signal of layer changed doesnt seem to be avaliable from the krita api so i can't really do much.
