Can you please show some more screenshots of this in action, especially how the image viewer works. Also, what formats can it open? JPEG? GIF? TIFF? PNG? Thanks!

Hi. It shows only compatible Playdate image formats: compiled PDI and PDT, and Animated GIF.

The image is simply displayed on screen. There is no user interface visible when viewing images or animations. I’ll add a video of it running soon.

Thank you for replying. Can it display static GIF images in the Images folder, or only animated GIF images in the Animations folder?

It’s limitations and capabilities are inherited from the Playdate SDK. So, only animated GIF in the Animations folder.

You description says "

still images or .PDI compiled images in Images/

What's the "still images" then?

gingerbeardman2 years ago (1 edit)

Still images are your pre-compiled choices, which are turned into PDI by the compiler. Which image format depends on whether you’re compiling them into the app or putting them into the Data folder.

I’ll try to make the text clearer.

OK. So if I placed a static GIF in the animations folder, it would not work? It wouldn't just display the image? Perhaps I could make an animated GIF with two frames of the same picture.

Nevermind...you new description makes more sense. Looks like I have to compile to get what I want...no drag and drop.

Yeah, the capabilities are limited by the SDK. I don’t add any further image support. Hope you find it as useful as I do!

Got it working! I was able to insert a QR code as a PNG in your source, and compile it, and the QR code is able to be scanned! Great app!

My video is up featuring Audition.

So, I've got it down how to compile media files into the app, but adding MP3 after the fact is another story. Following your directions, I made a *.audition folder under Data (in this case, I named it me.niles.audition) and then added a Music folder under this.. I placed one MP3 in the music folder and disconnected. However, that new MP3 never shows up in the audition app. What am I doing wrong?
