>>I'm working on a tool for working with the outputs. I just scrapped my first version of it and rewrote it a few weeks ago. But I'm designing it to be a full resource manager. that allows me to extract and copy resources between XAML files. Standardize colors, transform and combine primitives etc. I'm also putting some basic editing abilities into it.

Yes.

I'm only using it for creating icons at the moment. I wanted DrawingImages and I wanted to be able to reuse the Geometry so I extract it into a ResourceDictionary, key it and create a DrawingImage from it.

I use the right-shift save method in the exporter. (Too bad he didn't post his code I would love to make that the default.)

The code is coming along, almost all the functionality from the first version is implemented, the property boxes are implemented, preview is implemented and I've started writing the brush editor.

I have so many resources in different resource files I wanted a tool that allows me to library them and copy them around as needed. And I want to be able to see them and tweak them as needed.
