visible check issue (SOLVED)

In Moho version 13.5, for some reason, when I bring a new drawing or image, it does not start as visible on the timeline. To give an example, let's say I made a drawing in frame 100. While it should start as visible from frame 100, it becomes visible from frame 1. The same goes for images. I wonder if I missed something in moho 13.5 version?

If I have to summarize, whatever frame I draw, the visibility starts there, not before.

That was a change in the latest version of Moho 13.5.5. Victor explained it more somewhere ...
But the summary from the release notes is: "When creating new layers or importing (images, svg), don't create visibility keyframes. The new layer should be visible at all times".
Think he implied people were confused by the 'random' visibility start, and it was easy enough for us to set visibility at frame X if we needed that.

I am able to add new drawings all over the work and now I will have to go to frame 1 and turn off the visibility each time
thanks a lot for your answer

I prefer the way it works now.
The old way would occasionally cause me confusion, when I didn't realize I was off frame 0 when I had imported the image and wondered where it was.

I agree, but I think it would be better if there was a tab for this in the layer tab. At least for those who want to use it as I said. In long animations, it is necessary to go back and forth constantly and it creates a waste of time.

Here are a couple of visibility flip tools. One toggles visibility at Frame 0, and the other at the Current Frame. They can be used to save some back-and-forth nativation when changing visibility.

NOTE: Just drag and drop from Zip to custom Tools folder, and restart Moho to install.

Thank you very much, exactly what I was looking for
