New tool for Comic Panels ("Knife Tool") - asking for feedback

Hi! I think the first version of the tool is already relatively convenient to use, so if you want to check it out, you can download it and test it if you’re on Linux or Windows: Linux: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/jobs/2766018/artifacts/browse/_packaging/ Windows: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/jobs/2766019/artifacts/browse (use the .zip file) The links expire in a week, but I can still rerun them if needed.

@davidrevoy Is there also some method to alpha lock a group/layers inside a panel?

@Neotheta Here is a base rigg that you can do once and then save as a template:

- The group 1 contains the vector panels, and the group 2
- The group 2 inherit alpha (so you paint only inside Vector Layer 3 shapes), then you draw, paint, line-art freely in group 2
- On top of the stack, a clone layer of Vector Layer 3, in Multiply mode to redraw the panel border line.
