Exporting a single image requires much less settings in general, than video export. Therefore, exporting a single image should be made much easier, omitting lot's of settings you need in video export, thus making the export window less clunky. Usually, exporting an animation, and exporting a single frame, are two completely different processes, needed for completely different tasks. So it's quite natural to choose this option from the very beginning. The main reasons I find it necessary right now are: 1 - Switching to single image mode doesn't remove the amount of settings, needed only for video, making the window less clear to the user. 2 - after switching to Single Frame, all export settings change for all other scenes, where I normally only want to export videos fast, so I have to change lot's of settings back to normal again (and this is why we need #2 at this point).Paul Fierlinger wrote:#2- I asked for that...
but I don't understand #1 either.
Exporting a single frame is the same as any other export. Instead "As Animation" I select "As Single Frame" Format: JPEG Mode:RGB(24 Bits)
I mean a separate command from the File Menu. I.e. - >"Export Animation", and >"Export Single Frame" separateElodie wrote: But... That's already the case O_o
Or maybe I misunderstood you ^^

Thanks for this idea - I tried it also in Windows, and it works the same. (Use any other graphic software instead of Preview - works fine). That's a good solution, except when I need an image with Alpha Channel, which, unfortunately, Clip Board cannot save...D.T. Nethery wrote:Not exactly what you're asking for , but on Mac OS I find that a quick way of exporting a single image is to go to Edit > Clipboard > Copy Image to Clipboard , then click on Preview in the dock and use key shortcut Cmd N to open the image in Preview (same thing from File menu > New From Clipboard) , then Cmd S to Save and name image . This requires several clicks -- Copy Image to Clipboard in TVP to copy image , switch to Preview , Cmd N to open image , and Cmd S to save image , but the advantage is you don't have to mess with changing your export settings in TVPaint just to export a single image. I always have Preview open , so it's quick for me to click on it in the dock to switch to Preview , then Cmd N and Cmd S to open the clipboard image and save it . ( I think there's actually way to use Automator to create a key shortcut to automatically open Preview , but I forget how to do that . I almost always have it open anyway , so I haven't made a shortcut for it. )
I guess this could be even faster if I created a custom keyboard shortcut for the command "Copy Image to Clipboard" .
I just tried it ... in the Keyboard configurations the command is under Clipboard > Save (not called "Copy Image to Clipboard" , so that's an inconsistency that the developers should take note of ) .
I assigned the command to key G (which was otherwise unassigned ; of course you can use any available key)
Now if I have a single image I want to export I click G to grab (save) image to the clipboard , click on Preview in the dock , Cmd N to open the image , Cmd S to save it , name image and save.
