Import Dock

You can import animations directly to AnimatedSprite nodes and AnimationPlayers using the Inspector Dock. You can find the Aseprite section at the bottom of the Inspector Dock when selecting AnimatedSprite2D/AnimatedSprite3D/Sprite2D/Sprite3D/TextureRect nodes.

Animations imported via docks are only updated once you manually re-import them, giving more control on when imports happen and allowing others to run the project without having Aseprite installed.
