LoaderSaver plugin -linux [solved]

[d_rylander]

Ok, I want to import some images which I'm guessing is with the Loader plugin, but I can't find it! I've looked through the program very thoroughly looking for some import but I can't find anything.
The plugins do exist in /usr/share/tvpaint-developpement/tvp-animation-9-pro/plugins but I cant find them in the GUI. Do I have to rebuild for them to work?

How do I import images into TVPaint?

[d_rylander]

Never mind, found out you right click on layer window and choose import footage...

[malcooning]

well, you could simply drag&drop footage into TVP.

Drag and drop in the linux interface is on the "to do" list.

Would be swell! Thank you.

or just "open" in the file menu

or just "open" in the file menu

You're right, that also worked now when I tried that.
But I must say that way was a bit unintuitive. - I expert the open menu to open project files, not importing footage. I'd expert a separate import option. And the title of the file browser when choosing open is "Open Project".

we should call it " open ..." only, or " open / import "

Yes, I agree. I rarely use the "open" (I usually drag and drop), bu that's true, just "open" would be sufficient, I think =)

[d_rylander]

If I can make a wish I'd prefer separate open and import menu items.
In most if not all application I work with you open project files and import footage/artwork. It's two different things. Having them merged into "open" is confusing.

[Elodie]

Yes, I agree =)

Even I, I'm sometimes looking for "import" and remember it's "open" ^^

[Fabrice]

IMO, less buttons/options is better. A line with " open / import " is enough.

[Elodie]

Why not =)

Pas bête, Fabrice ^^
