Good day everyone,

Trying to set the visibility of a layer through python script. So I setup a quick document with "Layer 1", "Layer 2", and "Layer 3" nodes/layers. On "Layer 3", I had some brush strokes scattered across the canvas. Then I run this script:

Code: Select all

from krita import*
doc= Krita.instance().activeDocument()

nodeName = "Layer 3"
node = doc.nodeByName(nodeName)

node.setVisible(0)
#node.setVisible(1)


The "Layer 3" visibility is turning off without a problem but the weird part is, I can still see my strokes on the canvas.

Now on a different scenario, I set my "Layer 3" off by default and I run the code again, only this time, I set:

Code: Select all

#node.setVisible(0)
node.setVisible(1)


to turn the layer's visibility on. The weird part is still weird, now the strokes won't appear in the canvas, but as I make new strokes on top of the old ones, the strokes magically appears and after undoing my new strokes, the old strokes are now displaying correctly.

It appears I need something to refresh my screen or something? do the same things happen to you guys? anyone knows how to fix this display problem?

You need to run Document.refreshProjection() after changing layers or the like.
