WRITTEN_BY David REVOY - - 72 comments
A thumbnailer for Krita files (*.kra) and Open Raster files (*.ora compatible Mypaint, Gimp, Krita and Pinta) for Linux : Gnome 3.x File ( Nautilus ) , Cinnamon ( Nemo ) and other compatible GTK3 compatible file browsers ( File of Elementary OS, Nautilus fork of Ubuntu , probably even SpaceFM Gtk3 ). [info] **Update 2020:** I tested [the 1-1 Debian package](http://www.davidrevoy.com/XYZ/gnome-kra-ora_1-1_amd64.deb "gnome-kra-ora_1-1_amd64.deb" ) on Linux Mint 19.3 and also on Ubuntu 20.04LTS recently and it still works surprisingly. Just, don't forget to remove the hidden ".thumbnails" folder (at root of your /home/username/ folder) and killall any filebrowser launched (eg. killall nautilus). Once this is done, the thumbnails should appears.

[info] **Update:** This three brush are now installed by default in Krita 4, you probably already have them instaled in your brush list (the icon might differ just a little bit). Also, the pack under is outdated and unmaintained: it probably won't work as designed with recent version of Krita. [Check the 'extras' category](http://www.davidrevoy.com/categorie3/) to find my most recent brushes. [/info] ![](data/images/blog/2016/01/2016-01-11_mix-brush-net.jpg) **For Krita 2.9 and up** _( Note: this brushes are now part of my brushkit 8.1 )_ ### Download & Install : * You can download directly the [mix-brushes.bundle file here ](http://www.peppercarrot.com/extras/resources/mix-brushes.zip)( in a zip, extract it after download ) or from [this folder](http://www.peppercarrot.com/extras/resources/) ([source git here](https://github.com/Deevad/deevad-krita-brushpresets/commits/master)). * Open Krita, go to _Setting _then _Manage Resources _and then click on the _import Bundle/Ressources button_. Select the mix-brushes.bundle file on your disk ( you'll see it if _File of type_ is set to _Resource Bundles (*.bundle) _and then press _Open _button. * Done! Close the resource manager dialog. The brush should appear in your Brush Presets docker, ready to be used. I use this brushes more and more to paint my backgrounds ( eg. check previous artwork '[Happy Holidays](https://www.patreon.com/posts/3941802)' ).

Refactoring Pepper&Carrot webcomic to be compatible with printer

WRITTEN_BY David REVOY - - 5 comments
All long strips are now split to individual 300dpi pages. 4 episodes affected in 30 languages per episode. Over 500 files manually edited and fixed. The renderfarm script is now adapted ( simplified ). This was a massive work of hundreds of hours. **Changelog :** [Episode 1 :](http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article234/potion-of-flight "Episode 1 :" ) **Problems:** It was a single long strip designed for web in first age of Pepper&Carrot. - The panels are now wider and were patched to extend to the new panel size. - The last panel takes now a full page. A starfield was added to fill the empty space. - Three moon corrections to fit with the cosmology of Hereva. - No more green panel border. Panels color are white to respect a standard. [Episode 2 :](http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article237/episode-2-rainbow-potions "Episode 2 :" ) **Problems:** It was a single long strip designed for web in first age of Pepper&Carrot. - Drawing a new panel on page 4 was necessary to fill the page. - A lot of panel extension painted on the top for wider panels. - No more foggy border, back to a solid square design. ( foggy rounded panel are for flashback or dream ). [Episode 3](http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article241/episode-3-the-secret-ingredients "Episode 3" ): **Problems:** Page 2 was irregularly sized. - Page 2 first panel was extended and recolorized. - Page 2 : speech balloon position were modified a lot. [Episode 5:](http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article244/special-holiday-episode "Episode 5:" ) **Problems:** Last panel twist (page 4 ) was a irregularly sized page. - A new panel was added, a close-up on the house. Many details were added. It's now a 'zoom out sequence' of panel. **Git commit :** - episode 1 : [1dc565279e012d1f012c63388d938d12f9057f71](https://github.com/Deevad/peppercarrot_ep01_translation/commit/1dc565279e012d1f012c63388d938d12f9057f71 "1dc565279e012d1f012c63388d938d12f9057f71" ) - episode 2 : [6ed2807bcad59fb12fda84117d3c661ac38e99b5](https://github.com/Deevad/peppercarrot_ep02_translation/commit/6ed2807bcad59fb12fda84117d3c661ac38e99b5 "6ed2807bcad59fb12fda84117d3c661ac38e99b5" ) - episode 3 : [23d7f7486a4af608201032b433a66bda0132ebc4](https://github.com/Deevad/peppercarrot_ep03_translation/commit/23d7f7486a4af608201032b433a66bda0132ebc4 "23d7f7486a4af608201032b433a66bda0132ebc4" ) - episode 5 : [0adee9f070acb471bbb1f18a8ff52ecd6ed7c6f5](https://github.com/Deevad/peppercarrot_ep05_translation/commit/0adee9f070acb471bbb1f18a8ff52ecd6ed7c6f5 "0adee9f070acb471bbb1f18a8ff52ecd6ed7c6f5" ) **Standard infos :** Now Pepper&Carrot pages are all 2481x3503pixels, sRGB, 300dpi.
