parent and child layers processing

Post by Marzlo » Wed Oct 05, 2016 11:42 am

Hi, since 3.15.5 the behavior of processing layers has changed. When the parent layer ist set to invisible, the child layers are invisible too, but it is not longer possible to to make these separete visible in oder to create a nc-file from them e.g. for differnt tools.

Also, when the cam-conversion is started, no filedialog appears!

Using the Mac-version El Capitan

Starting with 3.15.5, a layer is only visible if the layer self is visible and all its parent layers are also visible.
To show layer B which is a sublayer of layer A (i.e. layer "A ... B"), make sure that parent layer A and the layer B self are both switched on.

If you leave parent layers on all the time, you can switch the other layers on / off just like before.
Also, when the cam-conversion is started, no filedialog appears!
The last used name when exporting the CAM output is remembered and used for all subsequent exports. This unintended change will be reversed for the next release.
