I'd love to see some kind of Actor Builder program that simpifies all the aspects of assembling the graphics import and construction of the actor.  I just made my first actor and it took FOORREVER.  

Is there a command line interface for the sprite editor?  If so I could write an app that could batch import the images into the correct actor facings and set all the basics settings in one fell swoop.

It would be cool if I could run the exe and tell it to add a single frame to a sprite file and apply settings like

SpriteEdit.exe Spritefile FrameImageFile Delay HotspotX HotspotY XMoveOffset YMoveOffset

If this could be available, I could design and write the importer, and I'll let you guys use it with the developement kit.

The ActorEdit tool, as I plan it, will not help you with the sprites, only with assembling them together. The good thing about actors is, that there are usually few of them in one game

SpriteEdit doesn't provide such interface, but the .sprite files are simple text files and it shouldn't be a problem to write a generator for them.

Oh cool!!  Thanks, I'll look into that!
