Aseprite Sprite Watcher

Sprite Watcher v0.2.12 is built for layout-driven tile workflows. It mirrors source cells into one or more watcher layouts so you can iterate quickly on how tile frames are combined, transformed, or oriented.

What it does

- Mirrors source cells into watcher layouts so complex tile compositions update as you paint

- Supports workflows where multiple tile frames are combined differently across target layouts

- Lets you encode and edit mapping independently of art, so mapping is **sprite-agnostic** and reusable

- Enables mapping-layer reuse: save mappings, process them, and reapply them to similar layout families

- Includes `Force Resync Active` for manual recovery/sync when needed

- Uses deferred resync for better undo-safe stability, plus faster byte-path processing on compatible builds

Why that matters

Because the mapping is coordinate-driven, you can preserve and reuse layout logic across similar atlases, variants, and production passes.

Information is in the Mapping Colors

Use Copy Mapping For Selection and Paste the colors around, flip them, rotate them. Save them and reload them!

You can also reuse them for similar layouts

Known limits (honest and expected)

Sprite Watcher relies on Aseprite event behavior and rendering internals.

Some edge-case visual timing/hitch behavior (especially around selection animation) can come from Aseprite’s editor-side loop, not from Sprite Watcher logic
