LayertoPNG script Problem

tddygtnt

hi guys,

I am trying to use Spine and I came unto a problem. When I use the script that exports as png - Photoshop wants to save every single png as a psd, a window keeps popping up asking me to save a psd. What am I doing wrong? Is this normal?

Are you using the latest script?

It should not open a dialog to save each PNG. You do need to save your PSD before running the script.

Thanks!
It worked!

Update:

The new script works - but there was another problem -

Since i exported from illustrator to photoshop - there were layers that were named <blah> . Meaning between arrows.....
THis will result in an error in the script bc it tries to name the png with "<" and we know that files can't have those symbols.

So just my experience - note to have proper file names as your layer names.

Thanks!

I've updated the script to strip invalid characters from layer names when naming PNG files.

I have another problem with the script.

If I have a group layer and I hide it. It still exports the data in the json of the layers inside of it, and if the containing layers have some incompatibilities (like same name) then the png export stops , because even though the layer group is invisible, it seems that the layers inside of it, have the visibility active.

It would be great if the script would completely avoid looking into layer groups that have the visibility toggle switched off.

Thanks

hi, when getting the LayersToPng.jsx to work it puts all the images to a png but with only one image for each png? basically all the layers have there layer name but with one image through out all of them?? :S
