Batch fill the transparent backgound - Gimpyamateur - 05-07-2020
Hello everyone,
I am looking for 2 plugins ideally (I'm not any good with these texting/code stuff) to help me edit 170 sprites that will:
1) batch delete "select by color tool" of the background color all the sprites and,
2) batch fill in the background (all the checkered areas) with a color of my choice.
It's been quite tedious to do it manually and so far I couldn't find anything on the internet.
Thank you

Are all the sprites the same size and not too big? If so you can load them all as tiles in a single layer, edit the layer, and split them back. Some of my scripts that can help:
- ofn-tiles: loads/save multiple files as one layer and vice-versa
- ofn-layer-tiles: split a single layer to tile and vice-versa
- ofn-export-layers: exports all your layers to files, using a pattern to name them.
- replace-foreground-by-background: replace the background color by the foreground color, usually after you have done a selection on the background (and grown it by one or two pixels, see here why).
- ofn-file-next: saves & closes current image and loads next in sequence, usually assigned to a shortcut. Very often this is where you spend the most time when mass-editing images.

Great thank you!
To answer your question, yes they're all the same size. One set of sprites are 400x450 pixels, the other sets are 65x65 pixels.
