Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates and for the issues you’ve been experiencing when building the plugin from source.
I finally had some time to work on the plugin again, and recently released an updated version (0.5) of the Exporter panel which you can download from here. On the same page you’ll find instructions about how to install and run the plugin. In case you wish to build the plugin from source, the Github repository has been updated as well and the overall build process should be much more streamlined now.
The new version is compatible with Photoshop CC2015 to CC2018 and has some new features:
-
Improved export capabilities:
-
Exporting sub-groups is now supported.
-
Exporting groups with transparent background is now supported.
-
Exporting documents with non power-of-two sizes is now supported.
-
New dropdown menu makes it easier to select the group you want to export by providing the ability to search for it by name (or using regular expressions). Should help when working with complex PSDs.
-
Slightly faster exports thanks to a new export engine. The panel now uses Photoshop Remote Server to connect to Photoshop instead of relying on a Generator plugin, which proved to be buggy and hard to maintain in the long run.
-
Updated UI themes to match the ones introduced in CC 2015.
This is a major rewrite of the old extension, so bugs should be expected. Please let me know if you run into any issue!
As a side note: the Previewer panel is on-hold for the moment. It was a fun experiment and I hope to come back to it in the future, but it always lacked too many features to be really useful for modern development.
