More features suggestion

Hi Daniel,

first of all, compliments again for Pyxel Edit. All the people to which I'm showing it fall in love with it and after a few days start using it :)

I have one important feature suggestion which would be especially great for people like me, which use Pyxel Edit with Unity. An option, when exporting PNGs, to automatically crop the eventual transparency borders and export the image with a size that fits exactly the visible content. It would definitely be a life saver in order to achieve optimal texture atlas sizes. And that way, we could have a single pyxel file where we could create various drawings, without worrying that we'll have to crop the PNGs later.

Other than that, it would be awesome if each file remembered where you exported it last time, making the export procedure less tiring :)

Cheers!

In my experience, it remembers the last place you exported as long as you don't restart the app.  I agree it should remember between restarts though.

Yup, it indeed remembers between restarts. But I meant to save it somewhere so it was always remembered (even if as a single save location for all files).

Hey Daniele,
Really glad you like it and thanks for spreading the word. :)

I could add an option to crop away transparency when exporting. I'm just a bit hesitant about making the export dialogs more complex and cluttered. I have plans to add export scripting, and this might be one thing that would be better to make a script for. But of course if it's a common problem for people I can add this to the standard export.

I will see if I can make documents remember export paths in the next version.

Thanks for the input!
