Support / Duplicated sprites in Sprite Collection...
« on: January 23, 2013, 09:33:28 pm »
Sorry, I know this was talked somewhere but I couldn't find the topic again :/
When you want to have the same sprite duplicated in a sprite collection, previously you had to copy-paste the image and add it again, so you have 2 sprites inside the collection. And if I remember correctly when committed, the images were compared, and if they were pixel to pixel exactly, only one instance was transferred to the atlas. Now, when you do this they are committed both so the atlas is unnecessary bigger.
I don't know if this has been disabled or I dreamed it hehe ... but I think it would be quite useful for importing animations with the same sprite/image in another file (like if exporting from flash), and for tilesets (sometimes you'll need to duplicate a tile in a sprite sheet for palette commodity reasons)
Thanks!!
