I loaded the file several times, restarted Krita a few times in-between as well, but the file came up properly every time. Other files that had similar issues did as well. I don't want to call it an unanimous "solved" since the issue occurred somewhat randomly, but it seems to work for now. My apologies about the puzzling points, I missed out on some crucial information there. What I meant is that the previews in the "Layers" window were empty as well. E.g., "MASK_a" should have shown the bright green shape in the preview, even when the layer was checked as "hidden". But the preview in the "Layers" list only showed an alpha-grid square - as if the layer was empty. So, what I meant to say is that the preview only updated correctly once a hidden layer was turned back to visible. The reason I didn't specify this is because I was more focused on the general symptom of Krita behaving as if all vector layers were empty, and depending on the state of each layer, I needed different kinds of "triggers" to make the vector shapes visible again. In the case of a layer that was hidden when I saved the file, un-hiding it was that trigger. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
