Hi! I am using the Microsoft MakeCode Arcade asset tool ([https://riknoll.github.io/pxt-arcade-asset-tool/](https://riknoll.github.io/pxt-arcade-asset-tool/)) to import images and sprites from an external source. This works fine. However I don’t see any possibility to include these assets in an animation, e.g. I only see the Gallery or the own animation assets, but I cannot use an imported sprite as an animaton Frame.
Am I missing something? If not and indeed this is not possible, should I file a bug on github and make it a feature request?
Otherwise, Arcade is awesome! 🙂
Thanks!
Bence

I will answer my own question to help others if they face the same issue:
1. You can use the very cool tool [https://shakao.github.io/arcade-sprite-pack/](https://shakao.github.io/arcade-sprite-pack/) to edit images / animations, and you can simply use the clipboard (copy & paste) to get some images into the animation editor
2. Copy / paste even works in the standard Makecode Arcade editor, which is also cool since then I don’t need to resort to the hacky code based image upload. 🙂
