Title: Suggestion: Re-import mask/background button
Post by: Janik on Thu 31/08/2006 04:10:50
Hi,

I have a suggestion for the editor that hopefully would be pretty simple to do :) :

1. When a mask for a particular area or the background image is imported, save the path to the file with the room.
2. A "Re-import mask" button would import the mask again using this path.
3. Perhaps a menu option for "Reimport all" could import all the masks and the background in one click.

The idea here is to make it a one-click operation to update a background/mask. I am working on a program (might become an editor plugin) which would automatically make masks out of a photoshop document. Clicking one button to re-import everything would make it a piece of cake to change a room.

Alternatively, if the COM plugin interface could do this, that would be even better. As it stands there is not even any access to the rooms (like getting the name, etc.).

Thanks for listening!

Would anyone else find this useful?

I think it's a good idea. Saves me a few mouse clicks (or more with the "Reimport all" ;)).
