I have several sprites in my folder, how can I switch between them, not opening new SE windows? [top]
you can use buttons Back(Q) and Next(W) to load prev/next sprite in folder or pak from which current sprite was loaded. If you want to skip to some another sprite, you can select it from drop-down menu on main toolbar.

click open PAK File from the File menu. In the window that pops up, find and open the folder in which the sprites are found, and select a sprite from the list.

How can I switch between sprite files from pak, not calling exploration window each time? [top]

Simply select a sprite from the drop-down menu in the Sprite Explorer window.

How can I decompile existing sprite? [top]

There are many ways to decompile sprites. You can save single frames to .bmp's or .tga's. Just select the frame you want, and press an icon. You can also save multiple frames to .bmp's or .gif's. Select all the frames you want to save and press an icon. Lastly, you can decompile the whole sprite to a series of .bmp files, and a .qc file, or as an animated .gif file.
