IHaveNoName Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I want to make a single grid 'collage' of multiple pics/thumbnails for reference to help me identify key images within multiple picture folders. Obviously this could be done laboriously manually or just altering Windows view settings to show thumbnails on folders but I don't want to do that. So I was just wondering is there a PDN a collage plugin with a grid template(s) where, like some other standalone graphics tools, multiple images can be imported to populate the grid automatically?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Nope. Not to my knowledge. This is the closest Collage Paint, but it appears to be incompatible. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Perhaps something like this? PNG Sprite Sheet Matrix 2 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Pity, the PNG Sprite Matrix looked like the sort of thing I wanted but on reading it seems a bit awkward and long winded for what could be 200+ pictures as it appears to need all them to be opened in separate PDN Layers.

midora Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Menu->Layers->Import From File... allows you to import them in one step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 The PNG Sprite Sheet Matrix plugin has turned out to be pretty much what I wanted. With the advice to use the Layers > Import From File I can do what I intended very easily and create a 'thumbnail' sheet of all the primary ID photos from a large set of archives. Less resource demanding than using the thumbnail folder options and actually more convenient as the ID sheet can be copied anywhere. Only thing I'd suggest is the name of the plugin be changed. It might be technically correct but it does not tell the casual user what it actually does and consequently a useful tool might be overlooked. So thanks for the advice again and thanks to the PNG Sprite Sheet Matrix plugin creator most of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
