Link: https://gumroad.com/l/PtMtm .. _custom_python_plugins: User-made Python Plugins ======================== This list describes only plugins that are **not** available in Krita, so you need to download and install the ones you'd like to use. .. seealso:: If you want to check descriptions of a plugin available in Krita by default (without a need to download), see :ref:`default_python_plugins`. To learn how to install and manage your plugins, see :ref:`install_custom_python_plugins`. If you want to know more about an individual plugin, you can access the plugin's manual by going to :menuselection:`Settings --> Configure Krita...` menu, and then choosing the ``Python Plugin Manager`` tab. Then you can click on a specific plugin and the manual will appear in the bottom text area. .. caution:: Custom Python plugins are made by users of Krita and the Krita team does not guarantee that they work, that they are useful or that they are *safe*. Note that a Python plugin can do everything that Krita can do, which means for example access to your files. Krita team isn't responsible for any damage you might suffer from a custom plugin, this list is informational purposes only and you install any of the custom plugins on your own risk. If you have information that any of the plugins below is dangerous for the user, please contact Krita team on `kimageshop@kde.org`.

Available here: https://github.com/cg-cnu/vscode-krita-plugin-generator Python auto-complete for text editors If you have the Krita source code, you can use this Python script to generate the auto-complete file for Python. Many Python editors need a :file:`.py` file to read for auto-complete information. This script reads the C++ header files from Krita's source code and creates a Python file that can be used for auto-completion.
