Feature Request: Allow for longer screens #220

Open chriskewl opened 1 year ago

chriskewl commented 1 year ago

This is a great tool for BBS use but only going 40x25 is a limitation. Could you allow for a resize to make a longer (or shorter) screen? I would love to have a long greets intro but right now the max is 40x25. Thanks!

I should clarify, I know you can create a longer screen for a new file, I mean make a screen longer when you're already editing. I would love to take an seq file and make it twice the size, combing two arts together.

You can do this already.. say you have 40x25 images a and b as seq files import them, then make a 40x50 right after them in the editor. use the brush to copy and paste each segment from a and b to the new 40x50 c. I've made massive petscii images 40x256 from several smaller ones .. seq exports work for the big ones too after. The only thing that doesn't work inbound is importing a seq large than 40x25. you just get the last 25 rows. Its pain in the ass not being able to resize the canvas whenever you want, I just create a new tab/doc with the dimensions I want then copy paste from the source. large format

Sure, this does work, I am not complaining. Just the resizing on the fly would be so much easier. Thanks!
