Usage

In Aseprite,

1. Open/select the corresponding saved file,
2. Adjust the frame duration in 'frame properties` (optional),
3. Create a loop section:
   1. Select desired frames,
   2. Right-click the selected frame number,then select Set Loop Section or New Tag,
      1. or click Frame - Tags - New Tag
4. Open Tag properties dialog and rename to the expression name,
   1. Adjust other parameters if you want,
5. Click File - Export... - Export Rhythm Doctor Sprite to pop up the export dialog,

Plugin will fill-in sprite expressions based on the loop section name, and generate sprite sheet image (.png) and .json file based on Animation Direction of the section, frame duration and the export settings.

Image (.png) and .json file will be created with same name under the same path as the opened Aseprite file.

Warning

• When exporting, make sure that the folder where your Aseprite file saved doesn't have a .png file or json file with the same name, or these files don't have important data.
