Aseprite Tag Extraction
Quick start
- Run
python scripts/extract_aseprite_tags.py <file-or-folder-or-glob> [...]. - Directories are scanned for
*.aseprite. - Output is Markdown by default; use
--jsonfor structured output.
Workflow
- Identify target
.asepritefiles. - Run the script with a file, folder, or glob.
- Use tag names and inclusive frame ranges (
from-to) as animation actions.
Notes
- Frame ranges are inclusive.
- Tag chunks may appear multiple times; the script de-duplicates identical tags.
- If no tags exist, it prints
(no tags found)for that file.
