Member E.V. Posted September 4, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 While using the Edit/ Sync layer w/ ext editor to make some edits in external app I sometimes add a new layer by mistake. When this is the case it always crash 3DCoat after sending it back to it. Before crashing 3DCoat offers the option to save the work (which is great!), but I think it could be even better if instead of crashing it just prevent the import of the bad PSD, then alert the user it need to be fixed, like: "Warning: bad layer structure detected, please fix it or sync again, incoming sync cancelled." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 I am testing this issue on version2021.40 and found it working fine. No crashing from my side adding new layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member E.V. Posted September 5, 2021 Author Member Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi, you are right I tested today with one of the example objects it works fine. Sorry for the false alarm. Although it still happens on a more complex project, and sometimes instead of crashing all other layers disappear. Do you use Photoshop? I use Affinity Photo so it may be related to how it exports too. I will try to understand better and send the bug reports before adding more news.

Member E.V. Posted September 5, 2021 Author Member Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) I forgot to mention, try to add a layer with no name (empty name), that's what Affinity adds for me automatically in some cases, and in all these cases it crash... This I reproduce even with the example objects. Edited September 5, 2021 by E.V. image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Following your steps using Pshop = no crash Sorry still cant replicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member sprayer Posted September 5, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 But you are using not photoshop. Do not know what you want if you trying to edit PSD in another software. Affinity still cannot open smart layers , so not support many photoshop filters and i believe it is doing something in own way so you cannot open PSD saved from affinity in 3dcoat. Also photoshop saving PSD so you can open this file even in very old photoshop, but affinity trying to convert file for own needs at opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member E.V. Posted September 5, 2021 Author Member Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 The title could be rewritten to " Affinity Photo: Sync layer crashes if layer with no name" Yes I'm not using PS but it works surprisingly well I should say, I just have to be careful of always naming the new layers. If I need it to be editable for later I can always save a copy in Affinity native format, no problem. I'm pretty happy with this feature and how it integrates well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member RafaelRiva Posted September 9, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hi! I use Affinity Photo too and mine has the same issue. Thanks for pointing this out, because I was thinking that the feature wasn't working. We just need to remember to rename the layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
