It includes new methods:-

Material.save_texture_and_thumbnail(folder)

saves Material's texture [if any] and its thumbnail [png] into a subfolder named after the material in 'folder' - returns that subfolder path or nil.

SKM.save_texture_and_thumbnail(path_skm, folder)

saves SKM's texture [if any] and its thumbnail [png] to a subfolder named after the SKM in 'folder' - returns taht subfolder path or nil

SKM.extract(path_skm, 'folder')

extracts all of the SKM's data into a 'hash': if the optional 'folder' is given the files from the SKM are extracted into a subfolder named after the SKM in 'folder'. All of the available SKM data is accessible from the 'hash', if 'folder' is given then the paths to the texture/thumbnail etc are accessible...

ImageAnimator

new menu items 'Make_Unique' and 'Clone'.

See individual tools threads for more details...

It appears that the version, ....3a.zip is missing two images for the last two menu items, make unique and clone.

Thanks for all of your work.

Ken, the two new ' ImageAnimator' tools ' Make_Unique' and ' Clone' should only have appeared in the View > ImageAnimator sub-menu as they are not that often used - the toolbar buttons were a result of a typo in my code
This is the updated version ..13b...http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293677#p293677

WOW!
good work

tig,
fantastic ruby !
Only I can't seem to find the "make unique button"
In stead I see two times : set folder from selected images to Nil ?

greetings,

The 'ImageTrimmer' now has an option to simplify the outline and a new separate tool to do this post processing too.

TIG · 18 Dec 2010, 09:36

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

There has been a lone report of these tools not working - with a '.jar' file 'opening' rather than 'running'!
Many of these tools use small Java '.jar' executable files that do specific tasks like zip/unzip and image manipulation.

I have found that I can reproduce this weirdness IF I let a 'zip/unzip' application like AlZip or WinRar 'poach' the '.jar' file-type as one that it will open. If so then when Ruby tries to 'open' a '.jar' file instead of it 'executing' in Java [like it should], it 'opens' in the decompression application...

The solution = look at your WinRar etc settings and ensure '.jar' is NOT one of its file-types for opening...

The Image and Material class extended methods will now only load if not already defined by SUp itself [==future-proofing since there's no medium-term hope of them doing this themselves?].
