Q&A
Q.Where is the image saved?
A.For images loaded in each window, only the image file path is saved.
These are saved in your project, YourProject / Library / CurrentLayout.dwlt.
Q.I can not read TGA files etc.
A.Currently only JPEG files and PNG files can be read.
Q.I feel the image is rough
A.The influence of the scale mode of Windows 10 is considered.
UnityEditor is also automatically scaled when this enlargement ratio exceeds 100%.
As a result, the viewer image is also stretched and displayed rougher than the actual resolution.
To avoid this, it is necessary to set the scale mode to 100%, or check “High DPI setting” from the property of UnityEditor and activate the editor at the same magnification.
