Description Manga Tengu 2016-12-27 18:47:21 UTC

Importing a file as a new file layer will result in an empty layer systematically.
It works fine with 2.9.7 though.
So as a workaround I import with 2.9.7 and then work in 3.1.1

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce this with the 3.1.1 appimage or a local development build :-( Are you specifying the full path to the file layer, or a relative path?

Comment 2 Manga Tengu 2016-12-28 10:44:27 UTC

I got it:
the kra file is on a mounted hard drive and I can access it several ways :
1---
If I access it via its physical path 
/media/user/blabla/**/*.kra 
I can add new file layers.
2---
If I access it via my symbolic link 
/home/user/Pictures/{ln}/**/*.kra
It will add an empty file layer
