I'm still having issues when adding elements to an image.

Using Shadowdark Ruleset currently, but this happens in other Rulesets, including Core.
No Extensions
I am using art from Gabriel Pickard.
I have the folders for FG in a removable hard drive (not sure if that matters???)


These do not always happen, but happen often enough that editing maps inside FG beyond laying down a single base image is becoming a headache and puts a halt to any work on the map.

When I move layers into a folder, they disappear from the screen. They used to come back after shutting down FG and reloading, but now they refuse to appear at all. But, they will sometimes reappear in a later session after adding another image layer.

Sometimes, when adding a new image layer, the previous image layer put down disappears. They will sometimes reappear in a later session after adding another image layer.

Sometimes, when changing the angle of an image layer I'm about to put down selects a previous image and moves that image from its original placement, changes the angle of that layer, but does not change anything in the preview of the stamp I'm wanting to put down.

There was a bug with layer hierarchies, particularly with nested folder structures. This should have been fixed in v5.1.8. If you have an image that demonstrates the error, I can take a look at the campaign and try to identify what is causing the issue.

I thought it had been resolved too, multiple times, lol. The issue seems to go away for a little while, then it comes back a few days after a fix is applied. One of the reasons I asked if the issue could be from my FG data folders being on a removable harddrive.

I just deleted all the stamps as it happened again and did not reload after closing.

I also noticed that all of the image icons for those stamps that disappeared are now blurred in the Assets window.

Let me start another map and load a dropbox for the campaign.

Thanks!

Here is a copy of the campaign. The images I am using are not in this campaign folder but I imaging any images should trigger the issues.

Taking a look at the campaign, the only image is Hidden Caverns. All of the layers in this image are root layers, i.e., there are no folders. Is this correct? If so, what is missing that I should be looking for?

Apologies, I thought sending it without the folders and allowing you to create the folders and move the layers was the better option.

Do you need me to add folders and move layers until the issue happens before re-uploading?

Yes. It would great if you send the campaign at the first occurrence of the error.
