Please update your sprite and paint editor!

[slate_technologies]

I wish Snap's paint editor was updated to support much more functionality, like text, and other stuff that most paint editors have.

I am tired to go to other paint editors, make my sprites there, and then download them and then put them on Snap!. It would flood my computer with png files and other junk, and also, it's like using gas energy vs solar or wind energy.

Going to an external paint editor, downloading and editing image files and then putting them into Snap! is like using gas energy. It's VERY inefficient as it wastes a lot of time. I want a shortcut to this. And what better shortcut would you get other than a Text editor and more functions?

I fully support this

If your downloads folder is too messy to be able to find and delete the things you don't want, that's your problem.
Also, the developers have talked about this before, and there's already been tons and tons of topics about it.

move it to snap feature request so we can vote for it...

@helicoptur

and there's already been tons and tons of topics about it.

It's a fact, so the programmers want it !

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

Expanding on what @helicoptur said. bh has said lots of times, that it's on their very long todo list.

[earthrulerr]

Yes please! Also change it to Feature Requests.

[bh]

Yeah we know. No need to vote.

[programmer_user]

@bh

Yeah we all want that. A rewrite of both bitmap and vector paint editors is on our (too long) list of things to do.

@bh

This has come up in multiple threads before. Yes we're going to work on the paint editors, and no it won't be very soon.

@bh

Yeah, good idea. We know that the paint editors (bitmap and vector) need a lot of work. It's not going to happen right away, though; there are higher priorities around the community web site.

@bh

We need more staff. The paint editors (bitmap and vector) have been high on everyone's list since forever ago, but we never get a round tuit.

@bh

At some point we'll have the time to redo the paint editors altogether.

[slate_technologies]

Made it into a topic you can vote on.

[nieznajomyh]

I think if we haven't update of paint editor we should try
to join forces and make a temporary extension to paint editor.

[helicoptur]

@bh

Yeah we know. No need to vote.

[sir_kitten2]

Do you mean like a browser extension?

[nieznajomyh]

something like

[sir_kitten2]

Well, how will we make it? I don't have replit or github.

[nieznajomyh]

It's only a suggestion, doesn't always can to do.

IDEA: Have a wiki forum post with the code
