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.

@johan @davidrevoy Do you mean things like add shape, subtract etc.? If so, 1. it already exists in Krita and 2. it might look similar, but it's different in both the purpose and the way it works. The end result is not one big shape, but every panel is it's own completely independent shape, can be moved (ie. to a diff. layer) or edited separately, can overlap the others etc. And its purpose is to make it very fast and very convenient to create comic panels. Basic vector tools don't provide that.

I'm referring specifically to non-destructive Boolean operations, where the shapes remain independent and are edited separately. And of course it's not about drawing in another program more convenient than in Krita (actually it's not ;-). It's about using a universal approach for everything vs a separate tool to just draw panels...
