Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
I second Enjay's suggestion in the other thread for specifying backgrounds other than black. I have a black decal with transparency, and it not only doesn't show up properly - even if it did, I wouldn't have been able to see it because it's black.
Try this PNG: http://nash.wanzafran.com/doomstuff/dar ... orderd.png
EDIT: Also, please don't replace grabpng command line tool - it has its uses as well and I prefer if the command line tool and this GUI were two separate programs. :(
LOL should have read the readme. They are both built into the program. SICK! Let me e-buy you a drink, spidey!

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
Thanks for the e-drink, Nash ;)
To do:
I don't want to have more control over the console... It acts fine on my system. But I see why you guys do. ;p I'll look into it.Chris: Windows apps are pretty dumb when it comes to a console window. Either you will have one, or you won't. Can't even make it so you have console output if it's started with a console and not otherwise.
Graf: Sure you can. But you have to dig into the Windows API if you want to have more control over the console
It still has all the old functionality. If you run it with a -grab or -alph option (from the command line or a batch file) it will act the way it did before (batch mode). If you run it with no arguments (click icon) or just files as arguments (drag file(s) onto icon) the visual editor will open.Enjay: is this intended to supercede the other version you posted recently? ... Or is that somehow built into this version?
No idea what that's about, it's not reversed for me. I may just remove that behavior and make them normal text boxes.Kappes: Could the cursor movement be reversed when clicking and holding the Grab X positioning
To do:
- - Add zoom option
- Add the ability to set a backround other than black.
- Add: When dragging multiple files on it it should only cycle through those instead of the entire directory. It would make it a lot easier to do changes which are only required in a subset of a large directory.
- Change: cursor movement reversed (on windows) when dragging the Grab X positioning?
- Change: get rid of the annoying console window on windows?

Spidey, have you checked out that PNG in your editor? It appears corrupted (a bunch of wacky tutti-frutti pixels).

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
No tutti frutti here. I thought your point was that it was black and didn't show up against the background =/
Anyone else getting tutti frutti with semi-transparent images?

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
This is what I'm getting. :(
EDIT: Please don't remove dragging the text boxes. It's great for axis-constrainted adjustments.
EDIT 2: May I suggest that if you use Open with on your your program, it'll load the image instantly into the editor. Useful for people who want to edit the offsets using the right-click menu in Windows.

The newest version does that. Get it from the link in the title post.Nash wrote:EDIT 2: May I suggest that if you use Open with on your your program, it'll load the image instantly into the editor. Useful for people who want to edit the offsets using the right-click menu in Windows.
No idea what's up with that weirdness on that image... I'll have to do some windows testing soon I'm afraid.
I should set one up but I'm lazy. I have some stuff I wrote in XSLT that I kinda want to use but it's broken in IE right now =/ http://bagheadspidey.sitesled.com/test/nothTormentor667 wrote:You need a better homepage for your creations, they are worth it and definitely deserve a better home :P :) I could help if you are interested > PM
If you can get that looking right in IE that would be awesome =D

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
Thanks for fixing the file opening. It's integrating seamlessly into my workflow now. ;) Background colour changing, zooming, and fixing transparencies and this'll be a winner. :D
Can any other Windows user, Enjay perhaps, try loading this image into grabpng and see if it comes out alright or corrupted? http://nash.wanzafran.com/doomstuff/dar ... orderd.png

It looks the same on my machine as it does in your screen shot above.

Hmm... do either of these work?
Your image is a greyscale+alpha image.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
Both look good in grabpng.
However, the 8-bit one screws up in Photoshop CS4. I'll mainly be using this for my graphics creation and most probably work with 24-bit + alpha format.

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
Whew, good. I think gray pngs will be unsupported for a while.
Added background color and saving other image formats as png (second part was trickier than I thought, fltk documentation on indexed image formats was really lacking. Check out this huge comment I left here, with code sample straight from this tool =)
Up next: add zooming
Way later: booting into windows and testing this thing ;p
edit - 8bit+alpha has really sketchy support in gimp and psp too. (g)zdoom supports it though.

Is the version with background colour changing uploaded? You should upload it so that we can, er, well, test together. :P

Re: grabpng - not just a batch tool anymore (gui added)
yes =) updates are listed here.
mousewheel zoom added, download updated -- let me know what you think.
To do:
- Add zoom option done
- Add the ability to set a background other than black. done
- Add: When dragging multiple files on it it should only cycle through those instead of the entire directory. It would make it a lot easier to do changes which are only required in a subset of a large directory.
- Change: cursor movement reversed when dragging the Grab X positioning? not going to change it. it's physically backwards - for some reason it didn't strike me as being weird before. But, it makes sense when you look at the numbers - they increase when you drag right and decrease when you drag left.
- Change: get rid of the annoying console window on windows?
