How to Fix the Auto-Closing Stroke Bug in Blender 5.2

Unlike previous versions, Blender 5.2 closes filled strokes while you're drawing them. This is what you need to do if you're annoyed by this new default behavior. (Don't forget to enable sound in the video)

Making an MLP rig in grease pencil. Guidance Appreciated.

Alright so Im shocked I havent seen anyone try to make a puppet rig in grease pencil for mlp characters, so Im planning on learning myself

Im still new to all of this, but my current game plan is this

  1. "legally" get adobe animate so I can open an mlp flash file

  2. As seen above, Ive imported said flash file and split up each of poor Applejacks pieces into seperate parts so I can have a good refrence

  3. Save this as a png and draw each piece in ibis paint on its own named vector layer (head, left leg, right eye ect) and save the whole thing as an svg

  4. Import the svg file into grease pencil because I saw a video that says it will save the data of each layer (keep them all seperated, keep the names and in the correct order)

  5. Figure out from there onward how to rig it all together

Would greatly appreciate any advice on this or helpful tutorials you think I should see 💖

Objects created with the Grease Pencil do not appear in the Dope Sheet.

When working with GrizPencil, keyframes do not appear in the Dope Sheet. As shown in the photo, keyframes appear without any issues only on the timeline.

When you play it back, the animation runs smoothly.

When working with a 3D mesh, keyframes appear in the Dope Sheet as soon as they are created.

However, when I create them using only GrizPencil, the keyframes don’t show up in the Dope Sheet.
