Confusing: New document layers show no object(s) even when there are
-
It looks like @pentool is on Mac, if you look at the UI from VS
in his video. Because of round edges.

@pentool This could be a bug, for some reason that Layers panel is not updating.
One thing to try, close all Layers panels (I see you opened for a canvas also), and open the default one from Panels -> Layers.
What could also happen here is that it is possible to open a layers panel that is "glued" to a specific canvas or document.
This layers panel will not update its content when working in an other document.
<Make sure that you use the Layers panel opened with Panels -> Layers

Sorry, yes forgot to mention that I'm on a Mac and also on the latest version of VS (1.1.094). But if you peek in the top-left corner of the video, that little Apple icon in the menubar should give you a hint
macOS 12.6.7

Yes, this seems to be a bug. Try this:- Open VS. Make sure no documents are open.
- Close the Layers panel (and any Canvas panels) if it's open.
- Create a new document.
- Draw a shape.
- Open the Layers Panel. The Layers Panel correctly shows the shape(s) on the artboard.
- Leave the Layers Panel open and create a new document.
- Draw a shape. Now the Layers panel doesn't show anything.
- Switch back to the first document. The Layers Panel correctly shows the shape(s) on the artboard.
- Switch to the second document. Now the Layers Panel is correctly showing the shape(s).
So it seems you were right. The Layers Panel doesn't update when you have a document open and you create a new document and start creating shapes. You have to switch to the first (or previous) document then switch back to have the Layers Panel updated.

@Subpath Actually you did it wrong. Do not close the first document. Keep that open and just create a 2nd document.

No problem on PC, it also works in the case you described here

Cannot replicate it here (point 7 works here).
I used the default config, with docked layers panel.
I think it could be a local config issue.
Start VS by holding Shift+Option+Command this will all workspace and settings to defaults.
Or remove the ~/Library/Application Support/VectorStyler1.0 folder, while VS is not running.

@VectorStyler Thank you, this seemed to help.
It's actually "~/Library/Application Support/NumericStyle/VectorStyler1.0" but this did the trick!

In case you don't know, you can write your
operating system into your Signature.
Account > Profile, Signature is down belowWould take the operating system only.
Because Vectorstylers Version number is changing too fast

@Subpath Thanks, done so.
