Good point, guess it wouldn't be a good feature suggestion after all. x_X

I'd still like to be able to mass-import or mass-export dozens of lumps using default filenames (for instance, mass imports will make the lumps named whatever their names were as files), and mass-rename files using wildcards like XWE. These are important features to me, and require me to use XWE at least for the early stages of making a new mod.

Could the ability to merge multiple wads at once be added at some future point? Chibi Rebellion is up to 130 wads, and merging them two at time resulted in the archive copy being bugged.

Why don't you use a Zip? Then you won't have to use dedicated tools for it.

I was planning to eventually implement some kind of 'project' feature, where you could create a project, import a bunch of resource archives to it, do whatever editing stuff you want with it, then export it all as a standalone archive when it's done. This probably won't happen for a while though, but I do plan on implementing archive merging at least before 3.0 final.

It's possible in two steps:
1: Convert sprites to PNG.
2: Export converted sprites.

If the sprites you want to export are from an IWAD, there's an additional "zeroth" step in that you first need to copy the sprites to a new archive because it won't let you change them otherwise (and conversion is a change).

Convenience of editing. I find it much easier to have all the resources for a given actor in one file/lump. Archive rules require it all to be in one file though, and I'm leery of zipping a zip of wads. I tried using LumpTool to extract everything, but that turned into a mess.

Umm... Sorry if this has been answered or has an obvious answer but I can't seem to see any graphic previews at all when selecting lumps. Any ideas?

I saw that mentioned somewhere, don't recall where. Something to do with certain video drivers? Anyway, I believe he's working on it.

In fact, it should even have been fixed now. Here, try this: http://files.drdteam.org/index.php/file ... 8P/dist.7z

AEOD does seem like a good stress-test.

I jest. Nothing wrong with a gaming behemoth so long as it's a fun behemoth.
