Yes, someone who is subject to glitterdust can't be invisible. That said, if the glitterdust effect ran out before the dust of disappearance did, then their invisibility would resume once glitterdust ended.
Glitterdust doesn't explicitly say it ends invisibility in the rules text. But this clarification makes it explicit.
Glitterdust kills invisibility and all the rules that go with it.
Glitterdust has no effect on other forms of concealment.
Glitterdust also makes it very difficult to hide and might blind you.

I don't think you meant it, but you contradicted yourself just now. If it would end invisibility, it would dispell the effect of Dust of Disappearance. It doesn't do so, it merely negates the game-effects of invisibility as long as Glitterdust lasts. Basically, it overrides all combat relevant effects of invisibility.

so, this got me wondering.
does glitterdust continue to effect the area after the round it was cast, as in if a new invisible creature enter the area effected by glitter dust will he too get dusted? or is the duration only effecting the initial creatures dusted?
my initial thought was that it effect once and new comers are not effected, but after rereading the spell it seem to be a continues area effect. this also mean that some1 who was not in the cloud and enter it can get blinded after the 1st round. (something like stinking cloud, this is also a cloud effect)

It is the usual discussion about what is fluff had what no.
A cloud of golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, causing creatures to become blinded and visibly outlining invisible things for the duration of the spell. All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect.
For me, the bolded parts are part of the rules of the spell and mean that the glitterdust adheres to the persons and objects in the area where it is cast and then stays glued to that persons and objects till the end of the spell. Even if the persons leave the initial area they are still affected by the glitterdust, while entering it after the initial casting don't affect you as it has deposited.
Area creatures and objects within 10-ft.-radius spread
"A spread spell extends out like a burst but can turn corners."
"A burst spell affects whatever it catches in its area, including creatures that you can’t see.""An emanation spell functions like a burst spell, except that the effect continues to radiate from the point of origin for the duration of the spell."
To affect other targets when they enter the area of effect it would have to be an emanation.

thanks, english is not my main language,
until now i never actually hade a difference between 'emanation' and 'spread'. (in my mind it translated into the same thing)
One way to picture it. . .
Emanation constant output e.g. a candle on the floor emanates light.
Spread moves out from a central point but only once e.g. spilled water spreads out on the carpet but isn't renewed when its absorbed.

yes, now i understand, but when i read it i compared to stinking cloud which is also a 'cloud' and has "cloud spreads in 20-ft. radius, 20 ft. high" so i thought it might work the same.
at the time i didn't know spread was like a burst but around corners. so it seemed similar to me.
