Hmm, what do you mean by a project?
Are you referring to a C# project (from Visual Studio)?

Didn't you mean "How do I merge two (Git) forks"?
Or maybe "How do I merge two (Git) branches"?

Currently you can't merge two project, unless you export all images and import afterwards. (Or export as a video or gif)

@Rictusempra OHH, I was just dealing with some code, so I had that in mind. :P

@NickeManarin I guess you may treat this as a feature request

I found a workaround. Given projects A and B and you want to append B to A:

  1. Open project A
  2. Right click on a frame at the bottom and click "Explore Folder"
  3. If you go up one folder, you should see both of your projects in Explorer.
  4. In Explorer, navigate to B and note the number of frames (the name of the last png file).
  5. In Screentogif, select the same number of frames and Ctrl-c (you may need to duplicate frames if project B is longer than A).
  6. In Explorer, select all png files in B and Ctrl-c. Navigate to up and into A. Navigate into the Clipboard/0/ folder. This should be full of the frames you copied in A. Ctrl-v to replace them with frames from B.
  7. In Screentogif, you can now paste the frames from B. You can even select a frame in the middle of the project to paste after that frame.

But it would be far simpler to be able to select a project and add it to the current project's clipboard. That would allow you to use the clipboard's UI to insert it where ever you like in the current project.
