I think that scratch should support atlas's. In case you don't know what an atlas is, it's basically a bunch a textures/graphics/etc stored on one sheet.
The costume editor would have two boxes: Tile x/Tile y. These would divide each costume part. The block below would then show a certain section.
EDIT:
The way this works is, Tile X/Y are rows and columns. They could pretty much be called rows and columns, which would make it easier to understand. Anyway, if you had an atlas with 5 rows and 3 columns, Tile X would be 5, and Tile Y would be 3. The section blocks show specific parts of the atlas, so A might be the top left part, B the one after, and etc. Since these blocks only show one section, these blocks should also be added.

show section [A v]::looksIt could be implemented in other ways, but this was the one I though of.
hide section [A v]::looks

show all sections::looksOne last thing: It really helps to be specific, so at least make your response more than one sentence.
hide all sections::looks

No support, people might be confused.How? Just interested, it's a simple concept, have all your art on a singular page, less storage space taken, better efficiency, etc.
I support! I've seen atlas used for games like Minecraft, but that's due to their 3D texturing through 2D graphics.

Scratch doesn't have a stage like Stencyl/Scratch is not based from Stencyl. As this will not work with Scratch, no support.

Minecraft does not work like that. In fact, that insulting to Mojang's hard work on there 3D blocks engine used in Minecraft.No support, people might be confused.How? Just interested, it's a simple concept, have all your art on a singular page, less storage space taken, better efficiency, etc.

I feel like that reply is sarcasticI don't understand how this works.Alright. Thank you for being specific.
Please elaborate.
What I mean is, you've only really explained two blocks, and I fail to see how a feature would be useful if all it does is let you hide and show square sections of a sprite.

The point of atlas's would be to create less costumes. For example, it would take a long time to make a font editor, as although scratch has presets, there's no punctuation and such. The sections would show individual parts of the atlas to act like different costumes. The reason I want this to be added is basically to be able to use atlas's in scratch, preferably font atlas's. As for the reply, I didn't recall many other non-supporters telling me what was confusing, which was frustrating. Also, I'd just like to put emphasis on
It could be implemented in other ways, but this was the one I though of.

You mean like this? I made it in Inkscape to describe what I think xe's trying to suggest. There is also this Wikipedia article on it.
