Oh my, thanks for the notice on the issue with the incorrect config. The format was indeed updated much later on, and apparently didn't undergo the corresponding changes in the separate version? (since the changes weren't even relevant to that version, but it's still the same program anyway...)
There aren't nearly as many users of the ANSI version so it hasn't gone reported since then, hm, so again thanks for bringing it to my attention and I'll have to update the download files!
Ideally there wouldn't even
be a second version, since maintaining two is somewhat annoying and also unnecessary since it's purely preconfiguration differences and separate fonts. I will likely want to remove that entirely for 2.0 to avoid potential issues (it's just generally easier for the end user to have it already set up for that, including the more appropriate fonts...).
called out incorrectly as Appendix C somewhere else
Perhaps another issue to address
. These things sometimes creep in since it's purely a text manual that is expanding with each version and feature set, unfortunately occasionally missing references like that despite my attempts to catch them all xD. That said, I can't find the one you're referring to, could you point it out? The manual itself doesn't seem to have this issue. Might you be using some other manual, or an older version of the manual in which is was indeed Appendix C? (or some other source)
(Export .ANS button instead of a secret key combo would be so nice.)
Oh for sure, REXPaint 2.0 would actually have a more capable and flexible interface that will support and include things like this, but back when it was first designed as a tool for my own use, there was simply no need for actual feature discovery and access, so more and more features have been tacked on to the original framework over the years, and the manual is essential for actually knowing all of its true capabilities
