Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello,

Just downloaded and tested the 11.7 update. The new Delete Empty Layers option seemed promising in managing my files and projects.

But it seems that I am missing something or doing something wrong. In the Main Menu when I select: Layers > Delete All Layers > Empty Layers nothing happens. What's up with that? Is it me...?

Layers > Delete All Layers > Inactive Layers works fine with me, though...

Delete Empty Layers seems to work fine now. Pardon me.

Don't know what changed, though...
I rebooted this morning so that might be it. But then I also rebooted a few times when I tested 11.7.0 last night...

Hi, not sure of what occurs here, would you mind sharing a sample project ?

The notion of emptiness for a layer is maybe to refine.

So far a layer is considered empty if all its instances are completely blank. Maybe you had some remaining pixels.

I don't think so. I tested it by creating a bunch of empty layers and then trying to delete them trough the new option.

Maybe I should reset my TVPaint configuration to factory setting and start over. There might be a bunch of leftover code or George script, collected throughout the years, floating about in the software that might be causing conflicts...

Would you know how I can do a reset of TVPaint?

There may be an issue, that's why I was asking you a sample project which fails when deleting the empty layers

Thanks, I reproduced the issue with your project. There's a bug !

Thanks!
Good to know I could help to squash it then.

I think I fixed it. The update will be published ASAP (but not today). Thanks for the report !

Hi Sewie,

Today's hotfix should have fixed this: https://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php ... 25#p130925

Great!
Thank you.
