I know the html export is a Work in Progress, so, it's a good start, and can be animated inside Edge Animate, but so far it doesn't seem to remember the size of the svg items they are all huge !

Sometimes, after preparing my files properly, i'd love to export (again) only a subset of layers, I'd need an option to "set selected layers as"

So far, I can set all layers or set items inside layers. First option is too "wide", second option goes inside the layer and changes the first item's extension, but not the layer's name, hence I'd have to move all to layers, but then need to rename…

Start from:
layerIWant.png
layerIwant.jpg
layerIdontwant.png
layeridontwant.jpg

would like an easy way to:
layerIWant.png
layerIwant.jpg
layerIdontwant
layeridontwant

(of course, i have more than 4 layers…)

Layer Exporter does not export sub-layers, or art items contained in sub-layers even though they were correctly suffixed.

who can help me to modify the Illustrator-Layer-Exporter to include these functionality:

1. document's name as a prefix combined with the layer name (e.g. to become: documentname_layername.png)

2. set size of the PNG (e.g. 72dpi, 150dpi, 300dpi, or at least a percentage).

3. save on export in the same location as the original file.

My knowledge of Java is close to zero.
Will send you a nice present in return.

I restarted Illustrator. The extension is seen as installed, but not available in the window menu.

I received an authentify request from ExManCmd, was told it was installed, but not available to find it. Maybe language issue (shown as EN when my OS and Ai are FR…)

-- edit après install --
On Retina MBPro (10.8), extension installed silently and is shown where expected. It isn't a FR vs EN issue.

As of now, graphical elements are always exported at their visible size, with no way to crop or add any margin around them.

A possible fix would involve artboards: when a specific atrboard is selected, all elements would be centered and exported using the absolute width and height of this artboard. This still need further investigations.

The UX in the tools panel is inconsistent in the way it lets users rename elements: layers are all renamed at the same time, while for art items, selected items can be renamed separately.

The inability to only rename selected layers comes from the fact that Illustrator does not expose any API to retrieve layer selection.

Unfortunately, as all the good stuff, it's not being maintained.

Some users report installation issues from the Exchange Panel. This seems to be an issue on the Exchange Panel side, but so far we were unable to isolate & reproduce.

Recommended fix: install from the ZXP using Extension Manager CC.

Will this be updated for the CC 2015 release of Illustrator? Thanks!

I having an error while trying to export from isolation mode. I just click «Export» and…

Exception:Error: an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('MRAP')

maybe its a featurerequest: export the layer reflecting the artboard. At the moment all elements on the layer get exported. Images bigger than the artboard, even with clipping masks within the artboard, are fully exportet and not croped to the artboards dimensions.

When I have a layer where an object is masked, LE takes all of the objects on the layer to determine the position even though nothing is displayed "outside" the mask.

The resulting CSS scales weirdly. (Here, the disk is masked by the rectangle, but LE will put a full box around the object).

I tried to add .png to group name in symbol content and this layer was ignored.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not. “Set selected items as” button replaces item name with format, .png for example, and do not saves item name.

All we need to export not just only images but images with high resolution screens support – an images with double pixel ratio. I think that we need to use @2x postfix in layer names ([email protected] for example) or set it globally with checkbox.

Hey there! I'm using this plugin to export a bunch of SVG elements and then importing them with document.importNode to an html document. When the SVGs get exported with the plugin, they all get the same class names like "st0" and "st1", so when I use them all together, it applies the last imported node's styles to everything. I was wondering if there was a fix for this.

Thanks!

Hi David

found a bug, when the learner has no name the illustrator exporter will go through the motions, but nothing will be exported.

Best wishes

For example this is supported on Photoshop but not on Illustrator. This allows you to define and export multiple sizes and formats for the same layer

logo.png, 200% [email protected], logo.svg

This is an Animate problem, but i realize this while testing LE 1.4

When you use an .html file in Animate, it's not possible to swap images with something else, since they're defined as inside the html file/DOM.

We also loose a lot of the interactivity available in Animate, since an image itself cannot be grouped or put inside a symbol (with its own timeline and interactivity).

This advocates in favor of a distinct .html AND .an export :)

I know the author said that sub layers are not supported by design but wanted to just mention this here in case anyone else comes looking:

This thread has some solutions to the problem of finding out the order of layers and page items relative to each other.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/538263

In short, it suggests getting this information from the document.pageItems property. I've also confirmed that this does seem to work

Hi David - thank you for putting this together, I'm just having one issue with it though and was wondering if you could help.

On exporting a PNG (I name the layer as a PNG file first and then hit the export button) the PNG is generated fine but it cuts off what seems to be two pixels from the bottom of the image.

I've tried this on different layers and also on different Macs (one with the extension installed via Adobe Exchange, the other via the ZXP package).

I've attached a couple of the other images in case it helps:
