Copy / Swap to Layer deletes local guides

[FosterType]

Is this a preference that can be toggled some how or is this a bug? When flipping the contents of a layer around, all guides are deleted.

Hey Gustavo,

Thanks for that, works great.

hi Dave, thanks for reporting it. I think it’s a bug, and I’ve created an issue for it.

in the meantime, here’s a workaround so you can flip layers and keep guides:

glyph = CurrentGlyph()

layer1 = 'foreground'
layer2 = 'background'

guides1 = glyph.getLayer(layer1).guidelines
guides2 = glyph.getLayer(layer2).guidelines

glyph.flipLayers(layer1, layer2)

for guide in guides2:
    glyph.getLayer(layer1).appendGuideline((guide.x, guide.y), guide.angle, color=guide.color)

for guide in guides1:
    glyph.getLayer(layer2).appendGuideline((guide.x, guide.y), guide.angle, color=guide.color)
