Could you add feature to save/remember last selected settings/values/options you name it

Developer

That is a great idea, I will make it so!

I would be grateful but if possible please don't go for app data as save location
But either registry or even .txt or .ini file inside Slicer folder

Developer

Cool, I'm aiming for .ini in the same folder as the exe, makes it easier for people to clear the file

Is this still a thing?

The current version (2024-12-24, as there's no version or about info within the app) uses this ini file as a logfile,
logging sheet-name and used settings, which is actually a nice feature. May I suggest though to change the extension from .ini to .log, since it only logs)

But, as I was reading through this post, it looked like ZeroX4's wish was slightly misunderstood.
I think he was trying to ask for a feature that the user can actually save ('non-sprite sheet specific') settings.

Why:
That way, when restarting the program, these settings are read and auto-set, so the user doesn't have to set these options/choices manually each time.

The options to save:
This would only be the following two options:

  • 'Ignore tiles with solid color' being auto-activated/deactivated 
  • 'Slice by rows and columns' or 'Slice by cell' radio button being selected. 

All other options can be dismissed for the save feature as these are depending on the loaded sprite sheet itself or are calculated or auto set after loading/slicing

Developer

It is a thing, and I think you're right, I misunderstood what was being requested. Tbh it's the one update I did that left me feeling a bit unsure about the change, never been too keen on it. 

being a mixed up end-situation, I can see why that change gave that feeling

Developer

Hey just wanted to mention the update is done

Bless you <3

I just tested it and it works
But one thing i find odd
Which is not something terrible just my nitpicking so don't worry
It saves last file used if it was sliced
If i go straight for write images to disk
Then it does not keep last image used

For example
I sliced water spritsheet  by clicking slice
Then write to disk
Now i open stone spritesheet and i go straight for write to disk

Last image used was for stone
Yet when i close and open Slicer again
Image automatically loaded will be water
Since this is last on which i used slice
And it should stone
Since it was last image i written to disk

I think write images to disk should save last file used
If only one would do it and  not slice button

Now it will look like nitpicking all the way
Now it saves per file settings and that is perfect
BUT it does not save any default settings

For example i will never need "ignore tiles with solid color"
So i assumed that if i just turn on slicer
Un check it then close and reopen slicer by default it would not have this option checked
Yet it does not

And this
I removed file i last used from its location then open slicer
It says cannot find file
