Reverse not working since update #50

It appears that the 'reverse': true feature has stopped functioning since the 1.6.1 update... unless there is another required attribute on the individual path that I am unaware of. My LLP animation can be seen here - Codepen!.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have it set on:

var dci1B - path #2,
var dci1D - path #2,
var dci1F - path #2,
var dci1H - path #2,
var dci1J - path #2

among others...

Hi SkyPages, thanks for bringing to to my attention.
I've have a look into this today or tomorrow.
I'm currently clearing the backlog of tickets, some of which include some exciting feature requests.

Thank you Cam - I think I can speak for everyone in expressing that we really appreciate this plugin and all your hard work to continue to improve it. I have a question about combining Paint with Set but will open it as a separate comment/ticket/issue.

An alternative fix / work around (for any LLP users that may experience the same issue) - you can do the following by opening your SVG inside Illustrator (I'm using CC 2015 - so not sure on version requirements):

Select the path with the Selection Tool (black arrow, V) || or if said path is already complexly grouped with several other paths use the Direct Selection Tool (grey arrow) and then press Cmnd-8 (mac) or Ctrl-8 (PC). Congratulations you just converted your path into a compound path, which can still be animated with LLP and which is the only kind of path that Illustrator lets you easily "reverse".

Now open the attributes window (menu->window->attributes) and use the "Reverse path direction" buttons (they are only available for compound paths).

Note: If you cannot see these buttons it is because the Attributes window is "minimized", so it is not showing all the attributes. Click on the top right corner and select "Show all".

You will no longer need to reverse the path within LLP.
