Export to `*.gui` file

Open astrochili opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Now only import from the *.gui file is available, but there is no export backwards.

Export will allow you to both create a gui scene from scratch, and make edits that are noticed during the creation of animations.

Yea, it's kind of thing to good to have, but also require a lot of effort to do with a lot of edge cases

It can be inside Panthera in future, but probably when it will be fully stable with current features and full collection/gui import

Current workaround is to use "reload binded file". It's pretty usable when making animations an switching between Defold Editor and Panthera

Wont do for Panthera, gui files will be managed in the Defold itself

Hi @Insality, Can you make me feel better that the current json / lua format of the animation file itself is enough for anyone to create a editor-script converter, for example?

Hey I think so! In case the user have a layout created in panthers it is possible to create a GUI file with the same properties. Especially with the new editor scripts api

But I want to force the Defold flow since it should be more natural (and override save GUI or Collection from Panthera are hard to implement/maintain in this tool)
