Texture scaling during export

[Venomalia]

enables the scaling of textures during export, the desired scaling can be set in the metadata window.

Deactivated (Default) - Leaves the textures unchanged and keeps the current size.
Dynamic - Calculates a good scaling size. (The smallest region of a texture is scaled to a specific pixel value.)
1x - 8x - sets the texture scaling to the specified size.

possible improvement would be
only scale up option
Setting the dynamic pixel value (at the moment 96 pixel)

This isn't bad but I'm not sure if I want to add the extra code for this feature. My personal opinion is that scaling would be better handled by an AI upscaler or something like imagemagick. Both of these will provide a better visual experience.

I'd likely be more open to adding a feature to automatically trigger a command after export. The user could trigger a command to scale or do whatever post processing they desired.

I am interested in improving the usability so that you can change the scaling without redoing the package.
My thought is that an upscaler Ai only makes sense if the texture has other elements than buttons, but this is usually not the case. That's why I used the nearest neighbor, because that way the scale doesn't affect the storage size, however it improves the quality of the generated textures significantly.
I could also let the user choose the scaling algorithm and passing it to an external program would also be a simple improvement.

Imagemagick would have an identical quality, but more options which we not need.

Hmm, I see what you mean, I didn't think of it that way.

Yes, I see your point. I just would hate to limit the user when they do need to use some other tech (now or in the future)

I think this would be a fair compromise. Something like a box that says "Custom scale operation" (if blank defaults to nearest neighbor).

Yeah, I don't use Imagemagick very much, it's a good point.

what would you think of this?
but i don't know yet which external programs i want to support or if we should leave it to the users for now.

The other mentions v2 but I'm assuming this is superseded. I'll close it but can reopen if desired
