Feature Request: Designer — Export Slices With Global Adjustment Layer And Layer Effects Applied

[nosey_gamedev]

Hi everyone,

At this moment, when you go to export persona and generate slices from all layers and export them, this exported file will not have any adjustment layers that may be sitting at the top of the layer hierarchy applied to it.

Similarly, if you make a group of all layers, apply a layer effect to this group and create a slice of every layer within this group, the layer effect is not applied to any of the slices.

When you manually create a slice with the slice tool, adjustment layers and layer effects ARE applied, however.

Manually creating slices is suboptimal in a number of ways:

• It takes a lot of time as opposed to simply selecting layers and pressing the 'create slice' button.
• Variation in slice dimensions as well as the positioning of its contents between iterations might be problematic and is unavoidable.

My suggestion for an elegant solution to this limitation would be to have a toggle button in the slices tab next to the 'Continuous' toggle that says 'apply global adjustments' (or something more catchy than that), which does exactly that when you export slices.
