Aseprite would not allow me to include an image as the canvas background. But I do think it would look neat, might be a bit distracting but for a variant it should be fine! ✌️

The latest update (v2.0.4) fixes the issue, thank you for reporting it ✌️

Okay, I see the issue now - I was able to recreate it 👍 I’ll investigate and hopefully can release a fix asap

I’m glad to hear that the performance improvements are tangible. I’m worried now that they might be the cause of the issue you’re describing.

Would you be able to:

• Provide steps to reproduce this issue and/or provide a file that the issue frequently occurs in (doesn’t have to be your actual work file, just any Aseprite file that the issue occurs in on your machine)
• Provide information on what operating system are you using Aseprite on?
• Provide a screenshot of the “Experimental” section of your Aseprite preferences

This would really help with investigating this problem ✌️

It took me a moment to get around to it but the latest Magic Pencil update (v2.0.3) includes a fix for this issue. Thank you for reporting it! ✌️

No problem, I hope it worked! ✌️

In order to install the extension you should open the etire “FX.aseprite-extension” file with Aseprite. You shouldn’t need to unpack the extension file.

Thank you for letting me know, I like the concept a lot! 😀

Okay, I think I was able to reproduce this issue on the newest Magic Pencil version and the newest Aseprite version - I’ll be looking into it.

Yeah, that’s not right at all. Would it be possible for you to provide me the extensions data? I’d ask you to take a screenshot of the Sprite Statistics dialog window and then go to Edit > Preferences > Extensions, then select the Time Tracking extension from the list and click the Open Folder button. In that directory there should be the “_pref.lua” file with extension data.

It will have all of your session times with filenames so I understand if you don’t want to necessarily share that but it’s the best way for me to try and figure out this issue. ✌️

Could I kindly ask you to provide more information:

• What exactly stops working? Is it that the effects are not applied or does Aseprite turn unresponsive?
• What version of Magic Pencil are you using?
• What version of Aseprite are you using?
• What operating system are you using? ✌️

✌️

Thanks a lot, now I got it - I found the issue and a fix. I’ll pack it into an update asap ✌️

Edit: It’s out - v1.4 of the theme has this issue fixed.

Could you provide a screenshot? I tried replicating the issue on my setup but I couldn’t see the line you described.

The latest update (v1.3) fixes this issues and a few more ✌️

Recent Aseprite versions have made some changes to the theme definition, I plan to update this project to fix the incompatibility in the near future.

I see your point, the extension works on the selected cells - you’d need to select all layers/frames/cells you want to center. And note, each one of them would be centered separately.

I designed it this way to follow the native UX of Aseprite and how it handles actions that move content like flipping or rotating an image. I’m honestly not sure if any Aseprite actions work if you select a layer group on it’s own.

Can you attach a screenshot? It would help me visualise the situation, I was under the impression it should work for grouped layers but I might’ve missed that in testing.

I’m glad you found it helpful ✌️

If this doesn’t help I might need a screenshot or a GIF of the issue to better understand your point.

You’ll need to add them manually. Select a color from a palette or from the image and left-click on the Outline Colors space/range. It should add a color to it.

Left-clicking on a color ramp (Flatten Colors or Outline Colors) should add the current Foreground Color to it.

What step of the process are you at?

A solution for it is included in the latest update (v2.2.0) 👋

It took me some time to figure out how I want to approach this. In the end I decided to add an option to ignore the Background Color (the one that’s usuall on the right-click) as there’s no option to reliably (and quickly) calculate the actual border of a selection. That’s only because a selection doesn’t have to be a simple rectangle but there’s no way to know that within a script.

I hope this solution is helpful for you ✌️

I’m working on it (literally) ✌️

At the moment I can’t recall any other software that would look like this 🤷

It doesn’t have a pause button but it only tracks the time towards the active file. So you can technically pause by switching to the Home tab in Aseprite. I hope that helps ✌️

I’m not sure what you’re referring to, so I guess it is it’s own thing.

I see, I like this idea 🤔 It’s simple and shouldn’t interfere with how the extension works right now. I should have some time to implement this in a few weeks.

I’m definitely in no position to license it to anybody considering I just copied old Windows UI 1-to-1 🤫 For a game I would recommend modifying the look a bit, create your own version with the same feel to not infringe on copyrights, unless you release the game for free.

I’m not sure what you mean.

I think you screenshot did not upload correctly, could you try uploading it again? I’m curious about your suggestion.

It’s data from the current Aseprite session. Every time you open Aseprite it starts a new session.

I’m having an issue getting this specific version of Aseprite, is there an option for you to update to v1.2.30 at least? This should be theoretically, the lowest version of Aseprite that supports this extension.

It should be, I did a quick test on the newest version and it seemed to work correctly.

What size/resolution is an example file for which the color analysis crashes Aseprite?

I wasn’t aware that it was not compatible, I’ll test it and fix if needed. ✌️

What version of Aseprite are you using and on what operating system?

If you want to know how/if this can be done in Aseprite I’m happy to help, you’d just need to give me the timestamp - you post just links to the entire video, from the beginning.
