A simple plugin that inserts image from your pc to Roblox Studio and instantly
creates a decal & part with the image on workspace.
When importing a png file, it gets the size of the image and fixes the inserted part to make it look right.
It also stores the image in the ServerStorage

your plugin seems to be off-sale
Thanks for letting me know, I just configured the plugin to be on sale
Could this ever be open-sourced? that would be nice
I get the error ‘Unable to assign property Position. Vector3 expected, got CFrame’.
Could you upload the source on Github or something?
Just fixed it, try updating the plugin
Here’s the code
local toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Insert Decal")-- Make The Plugin ToolBar And Name
local Button = toolbar:CreateButton( --Create A Button
"Insert Decal", --Name of Plugin
"Insert a file decal to workspace.", --What Is Says When You Hover Over The Plugin
"http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=9375337100" --Image of The Plugin rbxassetid://12345678
)
local studioservice = game.StudioService
local history = game:GetService("ChangeHistoryService")
Button.Click:Connect(function() --- Add Whatever You Want Here
local filee = studioservice:PromptImportFile({"png","jpg"})
if filee ~= nil then
history:SetWaypoint("start insert decal")
local part = Instance.new("Part")
local decal = Instance.new("Decal")
print(filee:GetTemporaryId())
decal.Texture = filee:GetTemporaryId()
decal.Parent = part
part.Name = filee.Name
part.Size = Vector3.new(5, 5, 2.5)
part.Position = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position
part.Parent = workspace
local importedecals = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("ImportedDecals")
if importedecals then
local clonedpart = part:Clone()
clonedpart.Parent = importedecals
else
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
folder.Name = "ImportedDecals"
folder.Parent = game.ServerStorage
local clonedpart = part:Clone()
clonedpart.Parent = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("ImportedDecals")
end
history:SetWaypoint("end insert decal")
end
end)
This plugin already exists: Local Flie Importer Plugin. It also allows you to prewiew the file in a widget and much more functionality.

updated the plugin
I don’t like widgets so I made this plugin
their more flexible and are way more superior then creating your own ui that doesnt even fit in with studio lol
My plugin doesn’t even have UI? also I made this plugin so I can easily insert references like in blender.
Useful plugin mate thanks for sharing it plus the code
Wait hold up-
You can access files from the desktop from studio? Doesn’t this prompt huge security issues? What if somebody uploads something not so good here? Although this is very very cool
