KeepTheMarks

Post by schwarzgrau »

Image

I'm using color image marks a lot and was frustrated to recreate them every time I merge two layers, so I wrote this script to keep them while merging.
The script works only with two layers at a time. You either select the top layer and choose Merge Keep Top Marks to prefer the top image marks or choose the bottom layer and choose Merge Keep Bottom Marks to prefer the bottom image marks.
How it will work is described in this feature request. Basically you merge the marks too, prefering the ones you choose. If you only want to keep the marks from layer A and ignore the marks from layer B you have to clear the marks on layer B before using the button.
Both buttons are available in bright gray for dark interfaces and in dark gray for bright interfaces.

Two things to notice:
1. This is my second script and I bet there is a lot of room for improvement. I embedded the script in the button, so please feel free to give me your corrections/improvements.
2. If a script does something means often the function doesn't need to be implemented in the software anymore, which is hopefully not the case here. It only works with two layers and I guess it's not that stable.

I know, I just love to write it with a "O" haha. Maybe it's funny only with the french accent in mind...

I must admit we were wondering at the office why you were always writing it with an O :lol:

I noticed that my script crashes TVPaint if one of the layer has only one frame, I try to fix it and will upload a new version. Till then please make sure you append an empty frame to a one frame layer you want to merge.

I'm really happy to hear this. I hoped I would write a script someday, which could be useful for some other people too.

Oh thank you. I'm glad much more people than I expected use the marks regularly. So if you ask for a better integration, it's not so selfish :wink:
