feature idea

[redryan2009]

so I have this idea and I have no clue how it would be implemented. but I was wondering if it could be possible to add the ability to export layers as individual files. could be in any format though I would hope for .png personally.

This will do that.  https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/31996-zip-archive-filetype-plugin-zip/

However, they'll be contained in a ZIP, rather than loose files.

oh thanks that will save me a ton of time.

Hi @redryan2009 Good News! It can be done!  Took me awhile to remember how 

 

You will need 2 plugins

Animation helper found here

and spritesheet filetype found here

First step is to save PDN file as a Sprite sheet

Then open the Sprite sheet in Paint and run the animation helper that will allow you to save as individual PNG files.

Be sure to follow the installation directions of both plugins.

Let us know if you are successful.

Any problems - just ask

Hope this helps

@AndrewDavid actually @toe_head2001 suggestion worked perfectly with 1 plugin and all I need to do is remove some junk in the file names. but thanks for trying.
