Great tool! A few suggestions:

-Would be nice to have a note on the page here stating .NET v8 is required and the tool will prompt for install if necessary

-Enabling drag and drop for image loading would be a great speed and usability enhancement, especially when working with multiple images

-Currently the image preview is anchored on the left side, so any function that resizes the gui window displaces the button controls. This results in lots of excess mouse moving and window repositioning. If the controls were swapped left-right with the image preview (which receives no direct user interaction) then they would maintain spatial positioning on-screen much more consistently, smoothing the workflow and visual orientation

-A one-click quick export button that creates a new file with auto-incremented numbers appended to the filename would be nice, thus eliminating the need to see a File Save dialog on each export

-Perhaps enhance the export function to append relevant program settings as filename suffixes for easy reference  later.

e.g. input file "Metal" exports to

"Metal--512x512_IsoLeft" or

"Metal--256x256_grayscale_IsoFloor"

Thank you so much for all the suggestions!! 

I should be able to get drag-n-drop working pretty easily, and swapping the layout so the buttons are on the left instead should be even easier than that. I'll have to see if I can work out a way to fit auto-naming for the image files into the program, that would be quite convenient. Though, it should probably have an option to be toggled on or off, just in case the user doesn't want to use the auto naming.

I truly had trouble finding any testers before releasing, so this really helps a lot! Thank you!

Happy to help!

The toggle option sounds great. +1 for user choice.

I've gone ahead and updated the tool with Drag-and-Drop loading functionality, and fixed the button panel so it is now on the left and the image display is on the right side. This should alleviate the issue of the buttons moving around when resizing the images. I also managed to catch an issue when using the Iso-Left Rotate on certain image sizes, and went ahead and fixed that as well. Please let me know if you run into anything else or have any other suggestions!

I'll have to spend some more time working out how I want to add a file-naming system, but for now, the other fixes have been applied and the new version is up!

That was fast!

The changes are working well on my end so far. A couple quick notes:

1. When loading via drag and drop the Restore button is non-functional. It throws a "No image loaded" msgbox. Seems like a flag or file reference is not being set. Load Image button does not have this issue.

2. Windows Defender went haywire on the new version and auto-quarantined the file twice. After adding an exception it ran just fine. The v1 release had zero issues. No idea if this is just a random problem on my machine or if it will affect others, but wanted you to be aware.

Ahh! I may have never caught the Restore button not working with the drag-n-drop if you hadn't said something! I'll go ahead and fix that up tonight! 

Truly not sure why it would suddenly make Windows Defender act up, all I even did was add the drag-n-drop function, which shouldn't have made much of a difference. I'll have to do some digging
