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?].

The ImageTrimmer tool has an added option to 'flatten' the new materia's texture PNG [i.e. remove its transparency] so that it will then receive shadows.
Note that there is also a new jar FlattenPNG.jar that is used to do this.

Here's a major update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293677#p293677
The MAC execution of the jar files has been addressed - it affects most tools/methods.
You need Java installed/enabled and appropriate permissions to execute files and read/write to the ../Plugins/SKMtools folder. On a MAC you might be prompted to allow a jar file to run - if so answer 'yes' - this should only get asked the once for each jar-type...

Here's an update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293677#p293677 which fixes a minor glitch with the ImageAnimationAppObserver - it was working OK but could sometimes give spurious error messages in an open Ruby Console until this fix...

Hi!
Congrats on an amazing plugin, but there is one major issue I have.
When I decide to undo the previous action (Ctrl+Z or Edit->Undo), in the place where animation was I now have all pictures tiled next to each other.

Thanks,
Adam

Rather than try to undo Image Animations you must just stop all animations.
To get back to an original Imgage's start-frame you need to start that individual Image's animation... angd then stop it when the frame you want appears...
