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
