Heloo all!

So when i was looking at the preference screen from the file menu, i saw preferences. Then i went to editors and saw that aparently StenclyWorks has its own built in editor called Pencyl...
But how would you go about using it? I went to one of my actors and pressed edit frame and nothing happened. Is this an error or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks - Nomnum

In Actors Folder

To get into pencyl you can press the Edit Frame (External) button to Edit the frame in Pencyl.

The Create Frame (External) button will allow you to create a frame in Pencyl.

You can also go into edit Frame which brings up a box to edit the duration time of the frame which has a button called Edit Image...

In Backgrounds Folder

There is a small pencil icon on the bottom of the screen which brings up a box to edit the duration time of the frame which has a button called Edit Image...

Thanks, and i may be just a slow one, but i am still a little confused. I did your steps.
For Example, I went into actors, selected one,edit frame...
pretty much your second picture example. But then when i was there i pressed edit image and nothing happens?
Am i still not understanding something or what did i do wrong?
Thanks for your reply though!

Try going to file > Preferances, then choose the editors tab, then choose the built in editor from the list, There should be pencyl there but if it isn't there you should browse it.

If it doesn't work/already set on pencyl then maybe pencyl wasn't downloaded.

I can't find pencil, do you have to download it or is it there by default.
