Giving a more realistic test on #Spriteloop ; functions and UI are solid!
The only points of friction I've encountered for my workflow:
- Transform/Scale operation and handles could be closer to the other apps
- separated tracks for properties would be helpful

It does something similar to the existing Export Layers script, but also generates a metadata file that SpriteLoop can import directly, placing all images at the correct positions automatically.

Bend flipping (elbows, knees) is now much easier to control, and transitions between flip states are smoother and more natural. Also now the hand can follow the forearm.
