Layer Disappeared
on: January 25, 2018, 09:06:08 AM
iPad version 1.0.10

Please see attached screenshot.

My steps:
4 equal squares.
Wanted to swap top and bottom (to see how pattern aligned).
Moved topleft 4 part down (to still have a grip on it after moving 5 to top)
Moved 5 to top.
Moved 4 to bottom. Layer thumbnail in Palette showed it still at part-way down.
Closed palette, switched and moved other layers: no change to thumbnail.
Closed file.
Re-opened to find thumbnail still at half-way,  but layer content (4) had disappeared. Not hidden under any other layers.
Nothing restored it. Thumbnail remains even after closing, re-opening file.

Can't say if/when AutoSave happened, but at no time had I deleted the Layer 4 anyway.

(Have noticed before Palette thumbnail does not update, but never known layer to disappear).

Hope this of use.

~~~

ALSO (while on the subject) ...
2 Suggestions for Layers...

...Ability to select (Layers Palette) more than one Layer - other than having to make Group, individually move into Group (and then maybe later unGroup).
...In Select Menu, a command to 'Select Layer'  (Active Layer).

I cannot reproduce that.
Could you record the screen and send me a video to this thread or to our email: [email protected]

I've tried over past few days to reproduce the disappearing layer. But have not seen it happen again.

The issue of Layer Thumbs not refreshing is always there. e.g Moving a Layer does not (always) get updated in the thumb.

Sometimes it will update after a while in the same session; sometimes only when file or App is re-opened; sometimes never (as in the Test ArtStudio file I send here).

I opened this file in Desktop version and found same non-updating.
