    Hello, just as the title says I'm losing some paths when applying powerstroke. These paths totally disappear, even an undo wont bring them back. These are paths that I have generated using interpolate, but they are popped from thier group before applying the power stroke.. has anyone run into this sort of thing?

    Are any other effects applied to the strokes? Check Status bar at the bottom of the Inkscape window when selected with the Selector tool.

    Hello, yes it has to do with the default brush setting actually. I just figured it out. sorry.

    But they also disappear if they are part of the interpolate group, which I suppose acts like an object. It's hard get that property off of individual strokes, once they've been generated by interpolation.

    Powerstroke donΒ΄t work on grouped strokes but you can Path->Combine them and add Powerstroke then.

    (Just putting this down here for those having a similar issue but for a different reason)

    Apparently for me, what caused the issue was that the fill of the path had reduced opacity.

    So, for me what worked was:

    • Select the path/line.
    • Open the "Fill and Stroke" window.
    • Choose a fill and make sure the opacity/aipha of the fill is 100%.
    • (Do the same for stroke)
    • Remove the fill (by removing the color, not reducing opacity).
    • Retry the power stroke.

    If this works for you, all great! Alhamdulillah!

    I had not reduced the opacity myself but somehow it was reduced (maybe my error when mistakenly switching to color picker tool and clicking something)
