• Wizard Imported SpriteSheets tab. Shows previously imported resources.

Changed

• Save scene on importing via dock to persist metadata.
• Wizard history now works as a simple import history. There is a new tab with a tree showing imported resources.

7.0.0

Breaking changes

Removing preset configuration. If you don't use this feature it should be safe to upgrade.

Added

• New "No Import" importer. This allows managing Aseprite files in the filesystem dock without importing them as assets.
• Default importer configuration in Project Settings.
• Tileset automatic importer. With this importer you can use any aseprite file directly in the Tileset editor.
• Drag-and-drop support to dock fields:
  • source file: can drop ase and aseprite from FileSystem dock
  • Animation Player: can drop AnimationPlayer nodes from Scene dock
  • Output folder: can drop directories from FileSystem dock

Changed

• Metadata cleanup on export does not print info message anymore. That was too noisy.
• Refactor importers to avoid file scans solving annoying warnings
• Use EditorFileDialog instead of FileDialog in the docks
• New icon

Fixed

• In ProjectSettings, default options were not hinted after any value was selected.
• Fixed minor warnings related to ProjectSettings.
• Animated sprites source field didn´t open dialogue in current folder

Removed

• Removed the option to enable auto-importer. A default "No import" is enabled by default with the option to change it via ProjectSettings. For backwards compatibility the default option will be "SpriteFrames" in case the importer configuration was enabled.
• Removed preset configuration. This was implemented mostly to workaround pixel art filters. Now this config lives in the node instead of the resource.

Thanks

• Thanks @russmatney for the drag-and-drop implementation
• Thanks @poohcom1 for the EditorFileDialog tip
• Thanks @mayamcdougall for the icon draft and inspiration

Added

• Aseprite repeat tag support. From Aseprite 1.3 there is an option to set how many times an animation should be repeated.
  • If not set, the animation will loop by default or follow whatever behaviour is set via the loop configuration from project settings.
  • If set, the plugin will repeat the animation n times and stop, like in Aseprite. This means you can disable looping by set repeat 1.
• Support to ping-pong reverse animation direction.
• Add option to keep animation length on import. Useful for when you have other properties manually defined in the animation and you want to keep its adjusted length.

Changed

• In SpriteFrames, for frames with longer duration, use the frame duration option introduced in Godot 4 instead of duplicating the frame.

Thanks

• Thanks to @chunhaqiushif for the repeat feature request.
• Thanks to @Silvanuz for the "keep animation length" feature request.

This is the last release for Godot 3 with new features. From now on this plugin enters maintenance mode and will only receive bugfixes. I might still merge smaller, easy to port features, but the focus now is the version for Godot 4.
