I have been testing them on the top-most layer of my maps with Enhanced Images enabled.
After doing another series of tests and putting pins on all 3 layers, only the pins on the bottom-most layer appear when I export it as a module and then load that module in another campaign.

Image just showing the "bottom-most layer," which does export fine.
All other pins on mid or top layers are lost ort invisible upon loading the exported module.Last edited by jwfitt; January 10th, 2017 at 07:19.

Trenloe maybe add something to this line about exporting pins?
Shortcuts (pushpin) that link to campaign entries can be put on any layer - but they are only active (can be selected) on that layer, even though they are viewable on the higher layers. Note: If you open an image from a module that has pushpins these will be visible across all layers but only selectable on the base layer.

This is because the FG export architecture doesn't allow for the layers - it only exports the bottom layer (which uses the standard non-layer FG name). The only impact of this is for pushpins, as tokens and drawings don't get exported even without this extension. I've added a new issue in post #2 that mentions this.

To clarify, you cannot create any player-shared pins in the creation of a module you plan to load and use in a main campaign (or share), because the only pins that will export must be on the bottom layer, and players opening a shared image/map will see those green shared pins, but be unable to click them because they can only see and access the top layer.
In order to have exportable pins, you must build them all on the base layer and no player-shared pins can/should be created in a module you plan to export and load in a different campaign.
To get around this, you should create/share the player viewable pins within the actual campaign itself.
For example, if I want to have a DM pin with info about a location on a Forgotten Realms map, I can create that in my master world building module. Then in my actual gameplay campaign, when players learn or hear about that location, I can open the pin (from my base layer), switch to the top-most layer (that players can see), and drop a copy of the pin there and then share it.

I'm using 3.2.2 and there is a combat tracker problem when I use this extension with Savage Worlds. Attack and damage bids are not working.

Trenloe,
I am working with the new Gurps ruleset, and tried out your extension. It seems to be working with a hex map. I opened base image (grass jpg), added some tree tokens on the backgrounds layer. I then put a square grid on the top layer, and changed it to hex. Put a player token on the top layer. and things seem to work smoothly.
At the top o fthis thread, I see a few disclaimers about this not working with a hex grid ...? What am I missing? Seems to be working great!
