Ghosting only works for images with "select" attribute
I saw elsewhere on the forum that there might be an option for "only ghost selected images" but I can't seem to find it. I was wondering why ghosting wasn't working for me at all when I stumbled on the "select" attribute on the region itself. If this is off (so that I'm not fighting against it in the editor) then ghosting fails to draw it.
It seems Select
does prevent attachments from ghosting. In the code I see the comment:
Don't ghost attachments that are not selectable.
So it was done on purpose, I believe because unchecking Select
is often done for background images, and ghosting those can make ghosting unusable. However, background images are better placed in a different skeleton, so maybe we should have Select
not affect ghosting.
You can't ghost only a specific attachment, but you can ghost only the attachments for a specific bone:
Ghosting - Spine User Guide: Selection
At least from the ux perspective, there is no connection between the setting and the behavior. Your explanation makes sense, in that it fit the workflow of whomever wrote that section. Having the ghosting control on the regions still makes sense, but as a bespoke attribute instead.
Agreed, let's have Select
not affect ghosting. I'm not yet sure regions (and all other attachments) should have a checkbox just for ghosting. Ideally ghosting doesn't spill over into the rest of the app, but it may be necessary.
