Hello all.

There are some number of brushes for Krita available in old-fashioned format, as a \
zip file with "brushes" and "paintoppresets" directories. Managing these  brushes \
manually when having "brand new" resource manager seemed to be hmm.. unelegant :) So \
I wrote a simple script that converts that archives into new bundle  format. Github \
link: https://github.com/portnov/krita-bundler

USAGE

* Create a directory, say, ~/bundle.
* Put 'brushes' and 'paintoppresets' directories from old resource archive to that \
                new directory.
* Put also file called preview.png into the same directory.
* Chdir to ~/bundle.
* Run create-krita-bundle.py from console/terminal emulator.
* It will ask you several questions about the bundle being created.
* As a result, it will produce *.bundle file.
* Import that file to Krita to test that it works as expected.

There obviously can be bugs, some of them because bundle format is not well \
documented and i had to reverse-engineer existing bundles :) Please fill free to  \
report bugs here or via github issue tracker. Patches are very appreciated :) The \
script, i think, should be useful first of all for maintainers of existing brushsets; \
but it can be also useful for end users.

With best regards,
Ilya Portnov.
