So when it comes to importing sprite sequences that are named and numbered it works fine, but if I want to import a whole bunch of images with different names then there is no option to import them all into a single project. They all get imported into separate tabs and I have to copy paste them manually one by one if I want them all in the same place.
If there was an option to import files regardless of their names it would be very much appreciated.
100% agree. Such a built-in feature for file manipulation would be great. In theory you could do this via CLI, but if you’re a bash newbie like myself it can be kinda daunting. It’s also one of main reasons why I got into writing my own scripts.
In the meantime, you might want to keep an eye out on my upcoming extension. One of its features is a file merger which lets you import all the open files in Aseprite (from imported sprite sheets to simple frame animations or complex stuff with tons of layers/layer modes, etc). The tool is mostly done but I’m still debugging it with my own project files to make sure nothing breaks. If you haven’t imported the sprite sheets (that is, split into frames), you’ll be able to use it in combination with this bulk sprite sheet imported. You can check the documentation for the file merger here. Once it’s ready I’ll probably post some links in the #scripts board.
Consider using a batch file rename utility to ease your workflow. Sometimes using the right tool for the job is all you need. Ant Renamer for Windows, or Autorenamer for Debian based systems, come to mind.
yeah I guess that should work. It’s still an unnecessary extra step but thanks for the tip
Hey Lux,
I checked out your docs and video, wow! epic work going on here.
Is there any way to get a pre-release version of this extension (Happy to discuss a payment or x-deal). I’m doing some game-dev work right now where I need to merge 100’s of sprites, and this would save my bacon!
