KritaPortable_4.2.8.paf.exe from PortableApps automatically installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Krita:
32-bit PortableApps\KritaPortable\App\Krita
64-bit PortableApps\KritaPortable\App\Krita64
The disk size of the installed application is 636MB. The launcher program is KritaPortable.exe. It will detect the bit size of the Windows operating system and run the corresponding version of Krita. Those users that are confident that they will only need one bit size version can save disk storage by manually deleting the unneeded bit size.
v4.2.8
The Krita Portable package at PortableApps.com includes the last 32-bit version (4.4.3) and the current 64-bit version (5.0.0). Not surprisingly, it can be placed on portable storage. When it is run, the wrapper chooses the Krita version that matches the bit size of the Windows OS. Users should be aware of file compatibility issues between the two Krita versions.
.kra is Krita’s internal file-format, which means that it is the file format that saves all of the features Krita can handle. .kra files saved in Krita 4 are upward compatible with Krita 5. But .kra files saved in Krita 5 are not downward compatible with Krita 4 or earlier.
The “What’s new?” link points to a history of release notes but does not yet include the 5.0 release. The 5.0 release notes are at https://krita.org/en/krita-5-0-release-notes/ These two items come from the 5.0 release notes:
Text size issues have been resolved (MR716)
Krita 5 now converts the font size into the correct value and this new value will be saved into the .kra file later. It means that this file will /no longer be compatible with older versions of Krita/.
Note on File Compatibility with Krita 4.x and Krita 3.x files
Krita 5.0 has an updated brush preset file format (.kpp). Krita 4 and earlier cannot use brush presets created in Krita 5.
