Please add text tool to image editor

I wish i could add simple text to temp sprites without openning external image editor.

There is a text object. You can set positions and pin them as well. There's also spritefonts.

No, those are for different purposes. When someone has to create a new dummy sprite, the dev has to use an external image editor to write some label on the image. This feature would speed up that process. I encountered such a situation a week ago, and I had to use the brush tool to put some letters on a one colored square.

Ashley - Any plans for this feature? This feature is quite interesting...

This doesn't sound like a good idea. Text in images has a lot of limitations: you can't change the contents (e.g. to translate it), you can't change the style easily, it is poorer quality (doesn't increase in detail on high-dpi screens, will just do a blurry-looking linear filter)... if you use a Text object it solves all of this!

You're right — we talking about dummy sprites

Yes ,but we need to yse 99+ additional Text objects and pin them to sprites...

or use Brush tool

and that can cause serious eyes injury ...

Seems like you could do the bulk of that in an external editor beforehand.

You could also open it in an external editor using the option on the toolbar (set in preferences).

Yes..I can open Illustrator every time ..or save dummy,upload to net,type text and then download??!!

this is not about what I can do....This is how to make work in C2 faster and simpler..

..and it's just a suggestion or or humble request...

He's not going to be real interested in doing something to C2, especially since this was one of the reasons for doing a new editor.

Hmm.. that might come handy.

Hmm, actually yeah, for placeholders it makes sense. I'm not sure we'll be adding much new to C2 by now though, but we'll consider this kind of thing for C3.

At now you can find some interesting post here..

Copy-paste out of PowerPoint.... Then resize as you desire.

It would make sense to be able to have a simple text tool and also a circle tool
