Export persona's Slices could use some marking system

[Raptosauru5]

Designer persona has this way of marking Layers.

The Export persona Slices could also use the colour distinguishing (or some other way to put exports in groups, like numbering).

 

Why would anyone need this? 

When designing App UI, one would create multiple Artboards, where each Artboard represents one screen in the App. Each Artboard would be one Slice. This works great when Designer makes a change and wants to just select all and export SVG to share the whole updated work with the programmer.

But then there are also pieces of graphics that are separated. They are not pages, but just UI elements.

This means that when Designer wants to update the work, they need to select manually all the slices they want to include in the update and when working on graphics, they need to unselect whole group and select only those graphics.

It would be nice to be able to create "Export group", so one would just click the "Select Group 1" button and all slices marked with "1" would get marked for export. "Select Group 2" button would select different set of marked slices, etc.

This would also allow some Slices to have multiple groups, both marked 1 and 2...

Colours however are nice too, because one could for example mark Slices that are for example just backups etc.

Such feature would definitely improve workflow!

Thanks for considering!

Well, not exactly, I was unable to group multiple Artboards... Putting Artboards in the same folder would be counter-productive

Thanks for this. When I said "Folder" I meant a "Group" (created by Ctrl+G), but this is a cool trick I did not know about, so thanks for sharing this! 👍

The reason why I think it is unproductive is that I do not necessarily want these grouped together when working. I would only group them for the exporting reasons and then this would cost more time than just selecting stuff manually (also, there is currently a bug where if you group Artboards, the snapping will stop working).

You can group artboards in designer persona and create a slice of that.
And have the slices of separate objects/groups on artboards and have slices of that.
And have the artboards be slices.

Thanks for demonstration video, but this is not what I was looking for.

I was looking for a shortcut how to select your favourite groups (Similar to strategy video games, where you select group of soldiers (A) and press Ctrl+5 and another group (B) Ctrl+3. From now on whenever I press 3 or 5, the group A or B will be selected, because the game memorized it). 

Changing my Designer layout just to make it nicer for Export persona is not worth it for me.

Maybe I am asking for something that does not seem like a big deal, but it becomes a time saver once you have 70 Artboards...
