Layer visibility keyframes not saved in actions.

Post by Lukas »

Dear SmithMicro,

Layer visibility keyframes are not saved in actions. All other keyframes are saved just fine. Please let me know if you understand this problem. I hope there will be a patch for this soon!

Thank you.

I just tested and it works fine for me. I'm on windows XP, in which operative system are you?

I know it looks like that at first. It does save them, but after closing and opening my project they sometimes seem to dissapear forever. Try it a bit more and you'll see they just don't get saved in the .anme file properly.

This is both on windows and mac.

It appears to not save visibility keys in actions for group and bone layers. It did save the key for a vector layer INSIDE a bone layer but not for a bone layer or a group layer.

It works while the file is open but if you close and reopen the key is gone.

UPDATE:

Yes, bone and group layers won't save visibility keys in actions. Strange. Vector layers yes.

Thank you heyvern for finding that out. I hope SmithMicro picks up on this soon, I'm working on a project and some actions really need those visibility keyframes.

I was just applying an action with visiblity to a vector layer not a group so that is why I didn't notice this bug. Yet another strange and unwelcome bug....I bet there are hundreds more lurking around the corner. I'm definately not upgrading now. What's happened to this software! :(

The bug was already there in version 6.
