Hidden Layers (Tiny Bug)

[ColdCoffee (Robert)]

After Carbide Create added “Layers” I’ve been using that feature A LOT, LOVE IT.
But I have stumbled on what appears to be a (tiny) bug.

Just downloaded 6.31, but I have noticed this with previous versions.
If the file contains multiple layers, and the first layer is hidden. I’m not sure if the bug is happening on the save or on the open. But when you open that file later, the top layer will no longer be hidden.

I’m not able to replicate this:

save and close the file, then re-open:

I am unable to reproduce this as well. My files come back with hidden first layers when they are opened as well as when they are imported. I even tried hiding the default layer as the first layer and that worked correctly as well.

[ColdCoffee (Robert)]

It appears I missed reporting one detail.
After re-testing I determined the bug happens when a layer is hidden AND locked.

After saving, closing Carbide Create, and then restarting Carbide Create and opening file…

The first layer is no longer locked or hidden. I tried locking and hiding the second layer and it worked perfectly, the bug appears to only effect the first layer.

Confirmed and replicated — we’ll see what the devs can do about it.

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

I don’t have time to check this now…but can someone confirm that this doesn’t happen during import as well? If not, I’ll check tomorrow.

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

I take it back…I found time.

I cannot reproduce the error in 632. I was able to save the file with the first layer hidden and locked…and then reopen it and the layer was hidden and locked. I’ll need to play more to try to find out why it’s not failing for me…that might help to identify what’s really going on.

If you try to import, it crashes.

Testing on other platforms now.

@ColdCoffee

After saving, closing Carbide Create, and then restarting Carbide Create and opening file…

If you reopen the file that is already open, the bug does NOT happen. It only happens when you start fresh or with another file currently open.

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

I cannot, for the life of me, reproduce this bug. Here it goes:

3 layers with objects on each.
I’ve locked the first layer (moved in front of default):

Now I hide the first layer:

Save.
Close CC
ReOpen CC
ReOpen the test file:

Everything looks fine.

I can also import that same c2d:
Start a new file:

Imbed the c2d saved in my previous post:

Imbed works:

Look at the layers:

Interesting result…the DEFAULT layer is MERGED with the default layer of the new file.
But the first layer of the embedded file, which was hidden and locked, came in hidden and locked.

So it “worked” for me…although DEFAULT is apparently a “special” case and merged layers.

[ColdCoffee (Robert)]

What happens if you rename the “DEFAULT” layer to something else? I noticed my example didn’t have a layer named “DEFAULT”.

And if you have time, download my example just to see if it’s the file or the install.

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

@ColdCoffee I opened your file…this is what I have:

Is that right?

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

Mwahaha…the plot thickens!

If I open my file
test 12.c2d (1.2 MB)
from a FRESH instance of CC — everything works (as I showed above). I can load it several times and it loads properly each time.

If I load Robert’s file into a fresh CC, it loads as I showed before
HOWEVER
When I THEN load my file, I see the error!!!

EDIT: Selecting File New and then re-opening my file fixes the issue (it loads properly then)
