Bug - CLI - Combination of parameters results in jumbled layer order.

[johanwendin]

Hello.

While using the CLI, if you combine the options:
"--ignore-layer" (to ignore a specific layer, or multiple layers) as well as "--split-layers", the resulting json has the "--list-layers" layer-list order randomized.

Same thing happens if you combine "--split-layers" and specify which layers to include using multiple "--layer"

This also means that it's just not the "layers" meta block that's out-of-order, but the frames list them in the same order as the "layers" meta block, resulting in incorrect sprites if you render them in the order specified within the json.

i.e:

aseprite -b --split-layers --list-layers filename.ase --format json-array

gives: (correct order)

"layers": [
 { "name": "_bg", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "legs", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "back_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "body", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "front_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "head", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" }
]

whereas:
aseprite -b --split-layers --list-layers --ignore-layer _bg filename.ase --format json-array

gives: (examples, this will vary randomly)

(first run)

"layers": [
 { "name": "head", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "legs", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "front_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "back_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "body", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" }
]

(second run)

"layers": [
 { "name": "front_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "legs", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "back_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "head", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "body", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" }
]

(third run)

"layers": [
 { "name": "back_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "legs", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "head", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "body", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "front_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" }
]

Expected output:

"layers": [
 { "name": "legs", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "back_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "body", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "front_arm", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" },
 { "name": "head", "opacity": 255, "blendMode": "normal" }
]

Aseprite and System version

• Aseprite version: 1.2.6-x64, Steam
• System: Windows

Can be also reproduced with:
aseprite -b --split-layers --all-layers --ignore-layer bg-grid player.f.ase --sheet player.f.gif

In this case, source .ase has 8 layers representing sides (N, NE, E, SE...) + 1 ignored layer "bg-grid". Each layer has 4 frames.
Messing layers order. 1st become 2nd, and the last one becomes first.
But if I remove --ignore-layers, it works. Also in both cases layers order is reversed.

@vovchisko are you using Aseprite v1.2.9? This should be fixed in v1.2.10-beta4
