Diffrent Strokes for Different Folks

[Dragonfire]

I created three different lines using the paths tool and wanted to stroke each path with a different color.  Each time I try to stoke with a different color, all three paths change to that color.  How do I isolate the paths from one another?

You can break the path in 3 different layers :
- click with the right mouse button on the path layer dock
- choose : Edit / Break path apart (= Ofnuts plugin)

Now you have the original layer and (in this case) three new layers with one path in it.
You can color the paths in the new layers in a different color. 
That's how I do that.

What you have made is a path with three strokes: in the Paths list you'll have a single path thumbnail, with the three lines on it.
