PhantomDigits Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Gale has a preview window of the sprite at actual size that updates as you're editing so you don't have to constantly zoom in and out. Hoping I could find something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomDigits Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I use the animation helper plugin (I believe that's what it's called) for animating the sprite sheets but it doesn't let you change anything while the window is open. I was talking more of a window like the layers and colors windows where you can just throw it off to the side and it'll show you the "actual size" view of the sprite while zoomed in on the workspace for editing.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Nope. Sorry. Plugins are modal and not asynchronous.In non-geek speak this means that paint.net effectively stops and waits for the plugin to finish/close before continuing. This is why you can't use any of the tools or menus while a plugin dialog is open for example.How about these keyboard shortcuts:Zoom in / out Ctrl + Mouse WheelZoom to Window Ctrl + BView Actual Size Ctrl + 0 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...
PhantomDigits Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ah, i see. You know, I'm ashamed to admit it but I forgot about keyboard shortcuts. I'd rather use the mouse wheel for zooming than for scrolling when zoomed in. I guess shortcuts will have to do. Thanks for the help. Chalk up adding a preview tool as a feature.
