Hi all,
When I go to Edit > Preferences > Files, uncheck the Show full file name path tick box, press the Apply button, press the OK button, then go to Sprite > Properties, a sprite’s file path is still displayed. This is assuming that the file is not a new, unsaved sprite. I tested in versions 1.2.34 and 1.3beta14 on Windows 10.
If this is not a bug, my suggestion would be to mask the file path out. A button could unmask it. Maybe whether or not the button is shown and the path is masked could depend on the preferences tick box.
I’m posting here, not on the Github issues page, because a stop-gap is possible with a Lua script. I left out a few things from the workaround; see notes below as to why.
The red square in the second image was edited in.
Thanks for considering.
Jeremy

Notes:
-
Unlike the
Sprite > Propertiesdialog, the user is able to perform other actions while the script’s dialog is open. That can include opening the script dialog before any sprite is open, while the home tab is in focus, closing a sprite after the script dialog is open, switching between sprites, or opening the default properties menu and applying changes. This script handles none of those actions gracefully. There is potential to handle them better, maybe with events for anyone who knows more about them. -
The file’s size in memory is not included. The default includes it in parentheses after the pixel dimensions.
-
In version 1.3 beta, the default properties allows display toggle of the sprite’s tab color and user data with a button to the right of its file name. If desired, a dialog widget’s
visibleproperty can be changed with modify. Sprite user data and color cannot be changed in 1.2.34. -
Assigning or converting a sprite’s color space is its own deal imo. See this script if interested. I doubt there’s any technical reason why it can’t be combined with the above. Scripts which read or write to file require extra user permissions to work.
-
Afaik, more than one unresolved bug is related to a sprite’s transparent color index. This property can be get and set by script; if interested, see the source code. I’m still debating how to design around this problem, that’s why I left it out.
-
You could add all sorts of extra diagnostics, as discussed in this thread and likely other threads I couldn’t find. In this post, I’m only interested in replicating the default window’s properties minus omissions noted above.

A keyboard shortcut can be assigned to a script by going to
