anytime i try to open up the aseprite extension file. it gives me an error. can you please help me? (this is my first time trying to import one of your tools)

Could you provide what the text of the error is? Or perhaps a screenshot of it?

the error just says it can't load the path of where the aseprite extension file is, idk if you're supposed to put the file in the scripts folder and run it

You shouldn’t need to put the file in the scripts folder.

It does sound like a file access issue, can you load any other files into Aseprite that are on the same drive or in the same folder as the extension file?

Just routinely I’ll ask as well - what Aseprite version and OS version are you running?

1. No, I cannot

2. I think i run on the newest version of aseprite and I'm on windows 11.

If I understand correctly, you cannot access any other file in the same place as the extension file. This would point to this definitely being a file access/permissions issue.

You should try moving it to a different place, or change the permissions of the file so it’s executable by the current user.

I keep moving it from place to place, and it gives me an error every time, it must be that when I first clicked the ".aseprite-extension" file, it asked me to find an app to open it and I chose aseprite, idk that's the only clue I could think of.

You could try running Aseprite as an administrator, and then open the extension file (or drag the extension file into the Aseprite window).

This should give Aseprite a lot more permissions to access files.

Are you running an Itch.io, Steam or Humble version of Asperite?

ok ill figure this out later im kinda busy rn
