I believe the answer is that we need a fully fledged tool that makes it
easier to batch export files. (Save for Web in Adobe photoshop being the
closest analogy I can think of but it isn't exactly a batch tool.)
The other day I was remembering the batch export discussion and I wondered how it was going to turn out. I'm neither developer nor designer so I'm sure you guys have better ideas coming.
I though the exports could be stored in the SVG document like guides. There could be two export object types: selections and ranges. Ranges would be similar to an SVG rectangle, the bounding rectangle would be stored. Perhaps visual range cues would be possible too. the ids of objects to export would be stored for selections. There should probably be a way make the current selection in the editor an export selection and make an export selection the current selection in the document. Selection editing could be accomplished like that. I picture a dialog witha list of exports on the left and the standard export palette for the selection on the right. For each selection there could be a checkbox for export on save and a place to configure filename, file type and path.
Is that similar to what others had pictured?
