import images and copy layer timing

[AnimationDog]

I am doing a lot to my initial drawings on paper. It would be nice to be able to select an instance in the timeline and import a image/images from a folder to replace the existing images directly. Keeping the timing of the initial drawings/instance would be great.

Also, copying the timing from one layer and applying it to another layer with the same number of instances.
Thanks

+1 . That would be a very useful new feature.

As it is now , we can Copy an image from outside TVPaint , then from Edit Menu > Clipboard we can paste the image from clipboard to TVPaint, but it pastes the image to a New Layer. We need option of Paste & Replace Image on Current Layer.

Also, copying the timing from one layer and applying it to another layer with the same number of instances.

I'm not sure if this is what you want , but if you select your current layer , then go to NEW and select Duplicate Structure it will create a new blank layer with the same number of instances and the same timing.

I have previously distributed a panel like the one below at a Japanese user forum.

I'm sorry that the explanation is in Japanese, but I think you can get the meaning from just the images.
