yeah so I'm running into a bug that's causing me to not be able to import a PSD file it just doesn't show on the layer list or on screen
When importing you need to select 'Yes' to have the armature update its bones, otherwise only the textures will be imported.
All layers should be in a group in order to be visible, since groups are treated as bones. All layers within a group will be flattened into 1 texture.
