Malcolm Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm asked to produce screenshots with the following naming convention: iphone_5.5_screen_1.jpg The dot in 5.5 seems to breaking the export. I get 'iphone_5.jpg' In a previous beta update it was stated that all characters were valid expect for / and : Is this an easy fix to allow the use of . ?

Staff MattP Posted March 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Malcolm, It would be an easy change - but I'm surprised that it didn't just produce "iPhone_5_5_screen_1.jpg" or something similar - replacing the '.' with a valid character. I'm not sure, but I think that not all filesystems would be happy with multiple dots in filenames? It's been such a long time now since I've used Windows I can't quite remember!?! :S EDIT: Actually, I've just tried it in my current Designer Beta version and when I click Export on the slice I get the following dialog indicating that the name is going to export exactly as you would expect: Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Sorry Matt, I should have been more specific. It's when exporting using the 'export selected' option - when it automatically adds the filename from the slice - if you exported with the export name dialog it's fine. ...If the Mac OS allows a . I should be able to use it, I wouldn't want to be restricted because some 2nd rate Microsoft effort of an operating system can't deal with it :P (btw not trying to start an OS war here, some of my favourite apps run on windows).

Staff MattP Posted March 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for that Malcolm. Yes, you're right, there's a problem with that function - it seems to remove everything after and including the final '.' in the name - which is clearly wrong... I'll sort that out asap, sorry. It's interesting that clicking the export button on the item itself doesn't go through this (broken) logic!?!? *sigh* Thanks again, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted March 25, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2015 Just to let you know, I've fixed this now for all future builds. The next Designer and Photo beta builds will not have this problem. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Matt. No problem, these little issues are bound to crop up. Extremely refreshing to be able to discuss problems with the devs of a package and see results. Keep up the great work. :) MattP and Dale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertD Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi, I'm actually running into the exact same issue when exporting slices with dots in their names and clicking "Export Selected" from the slices tab. Using the latest 1.2 version of Designer, updated via the AppleStore last week. I have several slices named: 01.01, 01.02, 01.03, ... , 01.08 with two slices named 01_www and 01_twitter. When export them individually with "Click to export single item" on the slice, it works and exports the files as a PNG with the dot in the filename. When exporting all selected slices however it exports the first one as 01.png and 01_www.png and 01_twitter.png but none of the others, and they are all selected slices for export. So it looks like it's truncating all slices with a dot in the name and actually doesn't export past the first slice. Slice 01.01 is the only one that gets exported as 01.png. Slices 01.02 and following do not get exported at all. I have just tried and taking the dot out of the slice names exports all slices fine when clicking "Export Selected".
