What is A CPS file

    It doesn't seem to be a stamp file, what is it and what do I do with it?

    Where do you see this? What's the files name? Pastebin it's contents? What OS are you on? I don't see one on mine :P

    EDIT: It appears to be an image file format... has Powder Toy moved away from .ppm?

    It comes from the View.html of a save.

    I beloved the next version will be able to open them, they are save files, either that or you open them with the console.

    CPS = Compressed Powder Save
    The current version can open them. Use the command line argument "open filename.cps". (Console can only open saves from the website)

    Or you can press Ctrl+i to install Powder Toy so that clicking on CPS and stamp files automatically opens them in Powder Toy (Windows and Linux only).

    Will a drag and drop system be made for .cps files. And loading and saving from tpt client?

    Very good idea I think saving/loading would be good... It would allow proper safe offline saves when offline... My stamps randomly delete :s

    When I click on a cps save after installing Powder and using it to open said file it just opens a blank Powder window, not the actual save. Why is this and how can I fix?

    If you aren't using Windows or Linux, there's your problem.

    Also, easy to get around. Make a 'Saves' folder in your TPT directory, paste the .cps into that folder, open up TPT, press CTRL+the open simulation button.
