Hi! First thread here on the BBS.
I've looked around and can't see any mention of it. Maybe it's not known, or if it is known nobody has said anything about it? I don't know, but since I haven't seen any mention of it, I figured I would make a post about it!

I accidentally discovered that you can actually import PNG images directly to the sprite sheet. How? It's quite simple: place a PNG in your Picotron, e.g. /apps/png/. In Picotron's file explorer, navigate to the location of the PNG, select it, then either right-click and copy or Ctrl+C, switch to the sprite editor workspace, select the slot, the Ctrl+V to paste it.

I'm just getting started with Picotron after having spent a few weeks with Pico-8, and this has been, for me, the easiest way so far to get my sprites exported from Aseprite into my sprite sheet in Picotron. I'm trying to see if I can make a Picotron app that will take all the PNGs in a folder and import them to the sprite sheet, but in the meantime, this works well! It's tedious for many sprites, but if you just have a few sprites you want to import, it's quite easy and quick.
