Better image uploading system

As a Roblox developer, it is currently a tedious process to upload images and textures for my games. When working from a place file and not a published version of the game, the process is this:

  • Open browser
  • Navigate to http://roblox.com
  • Click “Create” at the top
  • Click “Decals”
  • Browse for the image and click “Upload”
  • Wait for the newly uploaded image to appear
  • Click the newly uploaded image
  • Copy and paste the URL into Roblox Studio

While on paper this may not look too bad, uploading a numerous amount of images over time can become tedious.

What I suggest: The most convenient way I can think of is to add another tab at the top of Roblox Studio, (along with Home, Model, Test, View, and Plugins) that allows for quick image uploading as long as you are signed into your account. I think that this should also display the most recently uploaded assets where, when clicked, will copy a link to the image to your clipboard that you can paste wherever needed. (In the form of “rbxasset://xxxxxxx”)

Another small suggestion is to be able to have decals upload privately by default. It would be nice if all the assets in my game weren’t public domain and free to take. There is currently no clear way to remove assets and prevent players from stealing images that are in your game from your profile.

Doesn’t Roblox auto upload any images you import within the Games window images folder in Studio?
I’ve always used this for adding decals to games. (You can do more than one at a time)

Well the main issues derives from working from a place file and not a published game. Hope this clears things up!
