Add notes per image

[ace-dent]

Consider the ability to add comments/ notes per image.
This is useful during development to track metadata, e.g. source, planned use, etc.
Comments should be exported in .h file.

You mean like what can already be done for frames with the 'edit text' item in the right click menu and F2? But for sprites as well as frames?

[ace-dent]

The current per frame text is quite short, dictated by space in the GUI, and the intention to use it to name each frame.
I'm suggesting a 'note' function per individual frame (perhaps for sprites and other levels of the hierarchy?).
So this would add a 'Post It' note- to hold multiline text.

It can be done, but it's a fair bit of work. I would have to modify:

• The whole image hierarchy, introducing a string at each level (and thus each class that forms the image hierarchy)
• The UI, including either creating a new form to hold the text box or finding somewhere on the existing form to put it
• The header file export function
• The XML loading class, at each function that handles each level of the hierarchy
• The XML saving class, at each function that handles each level of the hierarchy

It's doable, but it affects a lot of different things, so I don't want to rush into it.
I'd want to be sure to get it right the first time.
