Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Here is the QuickSave2 Panel update which lets you directly save single image files - Display mode (include all visible layers) or Layer mode (only the current Layer). You can also directly load image to the current Clip/Layer/frame. Four Buttons for directly saving and loading the current Clip/Layer/Frame image to a designated folder of your choice. Here's what the four buttons do.

Set Path (do this first)
Lets you select a default path/folder, so the other buttons can save the current Display (includes all visible layers and opaque background) or the current Layer (with alpha mask, preserving transparency).

Save Display
Lets you save all visible Clip/layer/frames and opaque background into an auto-named, auto-incrementing file in the default path/folder. (default naming: TVP-Display00001.png or some incremental variation)

Save Layer
Lets you save the current Clip/layer/frame, visible or not, into an auto-named , auto-incrementing file in the default path/ folder. Alpha Masking of the layer image will preserve the transparency of the surrounding area. (default naming: TVP-Layer00001.png or some incremental variation) Updated to use NoPreMultiply for AlphaSaveMode - July 14, 2016

Load Image
Lets you load an Image to the current Clip/layer/frame. Loading a saved Display will have an opaque background. Loading a saved Layer will have a transparent background so that content from lower layers may show through. (default extension .png)]

If you have any problems (Mac PC or Linux) please post details and error-messages here, thanks!

EDIT: I've uploaded an updated version in which the AlphaSaveMode has been changed to NoPreMultiply (avoids fringing).
Please down load again and install over old version.

Nice Thanks

Hi Sven
I have a problem with setting the path for this script - it doesn't let me save a path without typing the file name. I have it set to "nofile.png" but for some reason this setting overrides the file name I give during an export. So basically no matter what - it will always save to "nofile.png" overwriting any existing file. Which means I have to go and rename the file each time after export.
Any way to fix that?
I'm on MacBook Pro, Yosemite, TVP 11
(it doesn't happen on Windows)
thanks

update: I just tried to leave the default name and what I got was even more bizarre: when I save it with the default naming - that's the file name I get: nofile.pTVP1-Layer00001.png

Sorry, I don't have access to any Mac system so I can't directly check it out.
If you have access to more than one Mac system does it happen on all?
Did this just start happening, if so, what changed? Upgrade of OS?
On the other hand, did you just try out the QuickSave button/scripts and found the problem first time you used it?
Could you please post the complete PATH that you are entering (selecting) using the SetPath button? If I can see that, maybe I can tell what is causing the failure (which maybe a parsing problem.)

Thanks, Sven

Hi.
I was using this script for a while on both computers, that's why I can't remember exactly when did things go wrong. It surely did work well before some recent time. There were a few recent updates on the system - Security update 2016-006 on November 4th, and something XProtectPlistConfigData, whatever that is - several of those.
The full path is /Users/Danas/Pictures/from_TVP/nofile.png

hope that helps...
