If you use #Krita you should really know about this plugin!!
It exports selected layers/groups as separate images, cropping the empty space around each!!
You don't have to download anything, it comes with Krita, but its disabled by default!!

Your help would be huge 🙏💙

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.
If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

Understanding the core concept how the Godot Engine works, so that a user can search for the right thing to get going.
But honestly, I think the attendees get mich more out of the course 🤓
Hotfixes coming in hot! 🔥
