Image (Tiles), Map and Cell (Sprites) search not finded on custom file names

Open MetLob opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

If Tile + Map or Cell in Custom formats (supported by my plugins), where file names not equals, then searcher not finded this files with options <Image>, <Map> or <Cell>.

This is feature or bug?

What kind of search options are you referring to?

Search options: Ani, Cell, Map and Image

If I have understood well, you mean that you are setting the file format FullImage because it's a format that contains tile and map information, and in that case the searcher does not show your files using the keyword <FullImage>. This is an expected result.

In your case it makes sense to return Tile and Map file formats too but FullImage format was created for Bitmaps and PNG images, where all the file contains the information to show an image. For Tile and Map or Tile and Cell, I would use just the Tile format since it's related to image information. Furthermore, the icon and the keyword for searching (<Image>) makes more sense and the program shouldn't allow you open that kind of file if you haven't opened a palette before (this does not happen with FullImage for instance).

Feel free to reopen the issues if you have more questions or suggestions :smiley:

  1. For example, i have cell file with name "File 1.bin" and Palette with name "File 2.bin". If I trying find all "cell" files then searcher not finded the "File 1.bin". clipboard02 clipboard04
  2. But if palette file name will be "File 1.pal" then searcher find both files and grouping by file names.

clipboard06

Both examples have equals file formats of cells and palettes (and tiles) and use 1 plugin. I understand that cells without tiles and palettes can't be opened. But may be just grouping all unsorted cells as: -+ Unsordet Cell name 1 Cell name 2 ...

And for tiles, maps and animations too.

Ah ok, I see now your request. You are right, when I implemented those keywords to search file formats I though they would be only useful if the full group can be found. This is only possible if they share names. In your case it would have worked to try to group files by "File 0 + File 1 + File 2 + File 3 + File 4" but in the case of Pokémon games there are many cases where that wouldn't work so I decided just to skip those files.

The idea of create a folder at the end with the name Unsorted is good, so I will add to the TODO tasks. Thanks.
