@eclectech TGIF

@eclectech Good luck!

@eclectech It's an unnecessary pain nonetheless. Is there no file conversion option for any of the Animate export formats at all?

@eclectech It's not a small thing at all. When Corel shut down their browser based vector tool last year that I used to use on Chromebook, it took nearly 2 full days to download many years worth of stuff. They didn't even provide a bulk export tool. F****rs.
The only positive outcome of that debacle is that I have since completely ditched corpo cloud as a storage solution. Never again.

@eclectech With a bit of luck, Feb will only feel 73 days long... an improvement over these 185 days of January.

@markhburton that makes sense

@simon_brooke Absolutely, but not everyone has the skills or time (and motivation) to learn those skills. It's a pity but a fact of life. Like I said earlier on this topic, there are lots of apps out there, it's just a question of finding the one that works for your individual needs. I'm happy to invest some effort, but not everyone is.

@simon_brooke oh nice!

@eclectech That'll be useful. Looking forward to your review as I'm always looking for new (free) tools to play with.

@david_chisnall I agree and transitioning to it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done, but I'm quite stubborn, so for me it's working out great. But we're all different. Luckily there are loads of tools out there to choose from.

@david_chisnall For vector drawing Inkscape is my go to tool.

@eclectech @david_chisnall Yes, I'd agree. I love Krita for drawing/painting but the animation side seems more confusing than it needs to be IMO. I don't know if there are plugins or add-ons that make it more useful. I kinda gave up and focused on Friction for animations.

@david_chisnall @eclectech I don't know how https://friction.graphics compares to Flash or Animate as I've not used Flash in the last two decades and have never used Animate. I rarely do animation work, but have dabbled with Friction on occasion. It's pretty feature rich, but documentation could be better.

@eclectech ditto!
