Save New Size of Resized Tokens / Crop Resized Tokens to New Positions on Grid

          I find myself often having to resize dressing tokens when putting them onto maps. Each token-maker makes everything different sizes, so when using elements from this creator and that creator, I have to enlarge or decrease the size of tokens to match the others. Even when it's the same token creator, they sometimes muff one token's size compared to a similar one--see the example of the beds above. The bed on the left is positioned in the middle of two squares and fits them. The bed on the right had to be resized to match the same scale and doesn't fit into the squares nicely. And there's having to hold alt down to keep the new sizes from snapping to a different size or position on the grid (I like to use the snap to grid). Don't forget that to use those tokens on a different map, whether in the same game or another, requires resizing the same token...again. It's really a pain in the butt. If Roll20 had a way of saving the newly resized tokens as new tokens, that would be AWESOME. Same for trying to align those resized tokens on the grid without having to hold alt down all the time. I would love if we could "crop" or "expand" the transparent parts of a token to match the size of the grid squares they are lying upon. However, I don't hold high hopes for this one because I'm sure it has to do with modifying the png files somehow and I'm not sure how that would work. I am hopeful about resized tokens, however. This would be very cool.

This is an interesting and good suggestion, to be able to SAVE the resized custom diminsions.  In the meantime, something you can do to preserve your changes, is use COPY and PASTE. Select your properly resized token, right-click and choose "COPY" from the roll20 menu, or use Command-C from keyboard. Now you can PASTE as many copies as you want, and they'll be the same. Yes, you can even PASTE onto a different Map/Page. So the idea here is, rather than dragging a new Bed Token out of your art library each time, instead go to one of your existing map pages that has the proper size and Copy that version.

Thank you, Gold. I appreciate it. I do that already. But I'm not always putting those tokens in different sheets at roughly the same time. I might be working on one map one day and three weeks and 12 maps later I might need that token again and it's more efficient to search up that token in my library than to exit the game, launch another game, navigate to the right map, find and copy the token...etc. But I know what you're saying. I'm trying to be more efficient across time and games.

Which reminds me, I think being able to SAVE tokens to your art library FROM token pages within our games would be fantastic. I mean, they ARE our tokens, right? We paid for them. We should be able to use them in other games without the hassle of using the transmogrifier or going through the steps up in the last reply...
