"Image source" path/name indicator

Post by JubbaTheHott »

It would be great to see what file is being referenced on an image layer in the "image" tab, above/below the "Source Image..." button.

Why?

If an image is missing from the expected directory, Anime Studio displays the broken image icon, telling you something's wrong. When browsing to find the appropriate image to fit back into your scene, sometimes it's not always readily apparent which file you need to point the program to.

Maybe there are 20 different mouth shapes as images named, "mouth_001" "mouth_002", and so on. In the rig itself, maybe I've named each shape according to what they are, like "mouth_ee", "mouth_closed". It would greatly speed up the search for missing files if the program told you it was looking for "mouth_014.png" instead of giving you no information at all.

Please and thank you.
