  1. Having the ability to select a bunch of slices and tell them all to be a specific size would be pretty intuitive and really darned useful. Overall, the slice->export thing is a real improvement over what I used to use in Photoshop, but this is a problem when you have 100+ assets that all need to be sliced the same size regardless of the actual layer size.
  2. Yes I have the macOS version. As per the screenshot in my OP, there's no warning triangle, but if I put my mouse where it should be, I get the warning tooltip.
  3. So perhaps if I mask the group it will prevent this, but that is a little heavy handed. I must admit that Photoshop had similar issues at times. OK. I'll play with this and see what I can work out. Many thanks.
  4. Thanks @Pšenda that was the warning I needed. I don't get the warning symbol so I didn't know to hover there. When I hovered my mouse at that spot a tooltip showed with that same warning. Placing a folder name in the "path" field removed the warning which gave me a hint to follow @GarryP's suggestion. The unused file export had a duplicate name in it. Removing that also removed the warning. Thanks so much.
  5. Hi all, I've noticed, with one file I've brought across from Photoshop, that when I setup the slice and export settings, the @x1 layer name is shown with a yellow (warning?) highlight, and is being given an "_2" suffix. I've tried creating the same scenario from scratch but can't. I thought it was a name length issue. Removing the underscore between "x" and "w" removes the highlight and the _2 suffix. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks pkclsoft
  6. I've seen that happen, but I've gone to the trouble, especially in the example, of making sure that none of the nested layers exceed the bounds of the hexagon layer, which is the 102.8x118.8 pixels (which I round up to 103x119 for the slice). So if I'd done it right, and that is the largest layer in themebutton.png, where are the other pixels coming from?
  7. Thanks Walt, I'm clicking on "Revert to Auto Sized" to demonstrate what I see as a problem. When I first create the slice from the layer it uses the same slice dimensions as those the "Revert to Auto Sized" button produces. I guess I'm just trying to understand why the auto size is not a "tight" rectangle around the largest size of the layer and it's contents. Attached is a cut down of the file containing the pictured layer. In this I have manually altered the slice size to what I think it should be. Clicking on the "Revert to Auto Sized" button, to my mind, should give the same result. I'm trying to understand why it doesn't. that way, maybe I can improve my process somewhat. demo of slice problem.afdesign
  8. I have an Affinity Designer document with a number of layers, each representing a single asset for an app. I am in the process if migrating away from Photoshop. In the Designer persona, the size of a layer can be seen easily by clicking on the layer and looking in the proper sheet below: So because I need to use the Export Slices feature I naturally want the slice to match this as closely as possible. In the Export persona, I find that I have to manually adjust the size and position of the slice for virtually every layer which is very frustrating and slow. Here is what I've had to do manually: and if I click on "Revert to Auto Sized", I get: So is there a way for the auto size to follow the size of the layer? What determines this extra boundary or margin? Thanks pkclsoft
