I have a set of several objects I'd like to batch export. I export them
all to a single directory. To have multiple color sets I have a few key
items and all of the objects are updated (mostly clones/etc), but then
the problem is that batch export wants to write over the previous files
so I must manually specify new files:
directory layout:
items.svg
red/item1.png
red/item2.png
red/item3.png
blue/item1.png
blue/item2.png
blue/item3.png
etc
With batch exports, after I save the red items and then change the key
items to me the stuff blue, batch export still wants to save as
red/item?.png
A simple solution is in the batch export dialog provide an additional
option 'Batch export to directory: '. When enabled, any existing export
directory information would be ignored and only the filename portion of
the exported file would be used, or if not available the object id.
Then I can make the items red, batch export ,select 'Put all files in
dir' and choose 'red' for the directory and export. Then change the key
items to make it all blue, batch export but choose 'blue' as the export
directory, etc for other colors.
Something like the attached image
