  • Can't import additional images to Spine project

Hi

I'm trying to add some additional images to my Spine project.
I export the images from photoshop with the Spine export tool and then import this json file with the import data menu in spine, choosing "Import into existing skeleton".
The slots all import fine, they show up in the skeleton under the root bone, but the slots are empty - none of the new images have been imported.

I also tried using the Import Folder option, choosing the folder with my images and not clicking New Project.
This just gives me an error and no images are imported.
If a json file is in the folder chosen, a new skeleton will be created and the images will be there, but that's not what I want.

What am I doing wrong? How do I add additional images to my skeleton?

Hi again

Found it out :-)
I moved the images manually to the image folder of the skeleton and everything works.
Is this the official way to import additional images?
Import json file and then move new images manually to the project image folder.

Yes, that is how you would normally do it.

Please see here:

The skeleton's image folder is where Spine looks for images, using the attachment name or path, as described at that link.

I like it. Very simple.
Why make a 5 step import process for it, when it can be done with copy-paste in Explorer.
Good design philosophy.

Glad you like it! Personally I prefer to use the file system for file related tasks. Many apps try to replicate the filesystem, from game toolkits like Unity to IDEs like Eclipse, but it's never as good as the real thing.

Couldn't agree more.
It's like putting on two pairs of underwear.
Where the second pair is designed with 3 extra holes that you have to put your head and arms through to slide the garment into place.
