Stickers
Creating stickers is easy.
You will need a program capable of creating Unix Standard tar files, like GNU tar program. Most POSIX systems ship with a tar program you can run on the command line.
Save your stickers as pngs
- pngs must be no larger than 255x255
- pngs can have transparent areas
- pngs can be different sizes
Gather all your pngs in one folder
In a terminal or shell use the cd command to navigate to this folder's location. For example:
cd /Users/me/Desktop/myfolder
Some terminals will spell out your folder's location if you drag and drop it inside your terminal.
Then run tar
tar cvf mystickers.tar *.png
This creates a mystickers.tar file in the same folder
Note leave the tar file uncompressed. Do not create a tar.gz, tar.bz or tar.Z file.
On Windows you can use programs like 7-Zip that support the creation of tar files.
For example if 7Z was installed in C:\Program Files\ you can run 7z on the command prompt as follows:
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe a -ttar fileout.tar image1.png image2.png ...
To add stickers to your image, import a tar file like the one created above. An example tar file named stickers.tar is also included in the same folder the script is found in.
If imported, the first 321 stickers will be added to your sticker list below your pic.
Click one to add one to your pic and move it around.
To resize a sticker click the plus sign that appears above it when you hover over it.
To remove a sticker click the x sign that appears above it when you hover over it.
Up to 32 pngs will be imported from a single tar file. However, all together, you can add more and more stickers from other tar files. This limit of 32 stickers per tar will probably be lifted in future releases.
Stickers are layered in the order they are added. At the moment there is no way to raise or lower them.
Bug: you cannot drag a sticker immediately below the plus and x controls. I need to fix this.
