Project and Pages can be easily understood with a comic book analogy. Pages are the comic book component with the same name, while Project is the comic book itself that contains all the pages.

Project

Projects are zip files that are containers for pages. These allow easy access to multiple files that are related to each other in some fashion.

Requires closed project and context project

  • Open : Open recent project from list
  • Clear : Clear recent project from list
  • Location : Opens the project location

Requires closed project

  • New : Create new project by selecting a directory and code name
  • Import : Import a project file
  • Search : Search folder and all sub directories for project files to import

Requires active project

  • Save : Manual save of the active project into the *.project_pages.zip file
  • Close : Closes the active project and will ask if you want to delete the temporary work folder

Pages

Pages are the individual working files and should be in theory all KRA files and they may contain illustration or animation. Each Page comes included with a text Note that can hold creative notes, descriptions or even dialog.

Requires an active project and item from list

  • Open : Open the selected page

Requires an active project

  • New : Create a new page using the template options ( animation range will be set to 1 )
  • Import : Select a single or multiple files to import into the project ( corrects animation range )
  • Search : Search folder and all sub directories for valid image files to import

Requires all pages closed

  • Rename : Batch rename of all pages
  • Export : Batch export of all pages ( corrects animation range )

Context Page

  • Thumbnail : Creates a thumbnail for the project and can be seen in Imagine Board
  • Delete : Deletes page ( can be found in the hidden "Trash" folder )

Link

All project folders are accessible through the link Possible to create and save resource files into the folder structure and access them the same way


Operating System Files

When opening a *.project_pages.zip file the plugin will unpack and create a temporary work environment folder with the same name as the zip. This means the plugin requires the namespace to be free in the directory. My recommendation would be to store project pages zip files into their own folders. If there is a namespace conflict an error message will be emitted and file causing conflict will be located for the user. When closing the active project or closing Krita itself this temporary folder will be deleted.
