Source Image: retrieve full pathname of image file?

Post by drichird »

If I look at an existing image layer, the "general" tab gives the name of the image file but not the full path. Is there a way to find the fully pathed name of the file being used for any given image layer?

In the layer proprieties, go to to Image tab and click on "Reveal source image".

Thanks, that works if no name or location changes occur to the source file, but I did a reorganization (new names/folders) of all my image files outside of Anime Studio, now the source image button still gives the old name and folder? But somehow finds the new name/folder wherever that is?

I believe Anime Studio saves the image as part of the file, so it's not actually calling it from your hard drive. You can change its location and rename it, it won't change in the file itself.

No, it doesn't. Images are referenced only, not stored within the file.
