Project & Pages
Project is the zip container for image files allowing good storage and file management. This allows easy access to multiples files referenced as Pages that are compiled within the project.

Pages are the individual image files contained within a Project. The files can be of various formats with preference for *.KRA files and they may contain Illustrations or Animations. Each Page comes included with a corresponding Text note that may contain creative notes, descriptions or even dialog.

Direct Link to the active Project folder. New folders and resource files can be added to the original structure and accessed.
When opening a *.project_pages.zip file the plugin will unpack the file into a temporary project folder, with the same name as the zip file. When a error occurs the plugin will show the file causing the namespace conflict and the user needs to decide how to solve it as to prevent data loss. My recommendation is to have a folder with projects inside isolated from other resources.
Saving a Page on the canvas will save automatically everything to the zip file.
