Oh... so it could be years before we see this added feature?

@Dean

Thanks (again!), that's great news, thanks for letting us know.

Does nobody else wish there was the ability to group layers in folders? Although the ability to colour code layers is helpful being able to quickly expand and contract groups of layers would be very helpful I feel. Apologies if this has already been discussed somewhere, I searched the forum for 'lay...

And you Elodie - you are TVPaint staff aren't you? So after understanding my problem you offer up no sign that the issue will ever be fixed. Instead I just get your smug little remark about a picture being worth a thousand words. Thanks for nothing

I didn't feel like being respectful after being told that I am no good at explaining myself - a statement which I resent and disagree with - schwarzgrau understood exactly what I meant from my opening post. After explaining for only the second time for slowtiger's benefit of understanding he knew wh...

It's not my fault you are SLOWtiger

So anyway this issue is a problem and I demand it be fixed!

@slowtiger This is plainly not the case with me as I am using OSX El Capitan, perhaps you misunderstand me. I am exporting a sequence i rename my png name to what i want.

After turning layer B into a stencil layer and attempting to draw anywhere at all on this layer I get this message -

@slowtiger - firstly I get stuck here - - erase in the copy what is transparent in the fill layer. You give no explanation as to how this will happen. First I tried to create my fill layer by creating a ctg layer and filling the area i wanted for each frame. This didn't seem to work but I'm not sure...

@schwarzgrau

Your idea would be even better!

When exporting an animation as a png sequence I do this - 1 rename my the scene I am exporting with a name suitable for the export if need be 2 create a folder to contain the images 3 export The name chosen for the pngs in 1 is invariably going to be the same name I will choose for the folder to con...

@slowtiger 1 & 2 - yep already understood this much, but thanks for checking. 3 & etc - this is really interesting. I am home now and cooking plus my TVPaint dongle is at work, but I will practice this tomorrow and see how I find it. Thank you. I particularly like as you say, the fact that t...

Oh let me add a bit more about how I am achieving filling with a jpg - 1. duplicate structure of layer i want to colour and place under the layer i duplicated the structure of 2. import an image as a custom brush. 3. choosing the paintbucket/fill tool i tick 'brush wrapping' in its options panel 4. ...
