7/24/2014 - v1.2.2 Minor Code change and recompile to support Paint.NET 4
I was in need of a consistent way to create simple, evenly spaced spritesheets from multiple layers in Paint.NET and I figured I would share the plugin.

This is a FileType plugin that will generate a PNG formatted file.

v1.2.2 - Minor Code change and recompile to support Paint.NET 4
Installation Instructions
Verify Paint.NET is not running
Copy spritesheet.dll into the /Paint.NET/FileTypes sub-directory
Start Paint.NET and verify "SpriteSheet (*.ss.png)" is now an option for "Save as"
If there is a lot of interest, I will consider adding features, but as is, it suits my requirements.
Please cite if you use this tool for your application development and I will return the favor by linking to your application.
