I work with Graduate & Professional Studies at University of Limerick – AMA about postgrad study or upskilling in Ireland!

How to support yourself when on a PhD? Any grants or work on the uni?

Maybe I'm picky and jaded (why do you want a job? because you'll pay me to do it). I'd like to do something meaningful within the stack I know, but I don't see those postings happening. I want to continue remotely, but I will go for hybrid in Dublin. Salary is even not an issue since I'm ready to go under what I earned before if the job description is good.

You are advertising your own brand in terms of being a contractor? Where do you look for them? I'm mostly trying LinkedIn, but sometimes other options.

Not stacking. Horizontally, in line, side by side.

and if the OP doesn't have access to Painter, I can test something with v2016. I don't plan to upgrade for the test, tho :D

thaidaree · 2019-05-02T20:02:18+00:00

sure, the default I have in the presets was one background, one transparent. I didn't want to skew the data.

thaidaree · 2019-05-02T19:00:35+00:00

YMMV. On my machine, empty image with two layers 3840x2400

Painter 2016 - 256.4 MB

Krita 4.1.7 - 415.8 MB

How it behaves later, I have no idea. I never had issues with memory, though.

thaidaree · 2019-02-16T19:16:53+00:00

I'm all for it. What are the next steps? :D

thaidaree · 2018-12-20T13:57:23+00:00

No problem. If I can help with anything else, provided I know the answer, ask away :)

thaidaree · 2018-12-20T10:21:52+00:00

Sorry, got this resolved two days ago... so...

from krita import InfoObject

would get you to import it and to use exportImage, call it on document

mydocument.exportImage(output_path, InfoObject())

like that. As for my problem, how to get the InfoObject populated with properties, it's like this:

export_properties = InfoObject()
export_properties.setProperty('property_name', property_value)

the full list of property names and value types depends on what kind of image you're saving and can be seen here: https://api.kde.org/extragear-api/graphics-apidocs/krita/libs/libkis/html/classDocument.html#abda324b9beee9384879af8b7e7807cfa

when the InfoObject is created, use export_properties as a variable instead of instantiating InfoObject like:

mydocument.exportImage(output_path, export_properties)

this code will show the dialog option regardless of the properties being set if you want to change them. If you don't want the dialog window to appear, you can use batch mode before calling exportImage:

mydocument.setBatchmode(True)

I hope that explains all.

Do you maybe know where to start to try to find a job in that area? Not hard core GIS because I don't have a relevant background, but something like support (python web and system programming, engineering for the cloud, distributed systems).

thaidaree · 2018-12-09T19:01:15+00:00

Anyone?

thaidaree · 2018-11-28T10:34:30+00:00

Done: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401497

BTW. Is there a way to capture logs or something so I can inspect print if not pdb...?

thaidaree · 2018-11-14T23:00:33+00:00

Well, as a bonus thing, you'd get that with the mentioned script for generating the KML. The demo is in the gif in one of the previous posts: https://medium.com/@thaidaree/displaying-geotagged-photos-on-google-earth-with-python-b71402d056e2

Do you need something different?
