Feature suggestion - Rename artboards with number sequence, from left to right based on their X and Y positions. #132
Comments
Same! Sequencing based on artboard Y positions would be amazing. Without this, I find myself using Enumerator, and not able to use RenameIt for most renaming. |
Same here! |
Do you guys have any suggestions as to which direction the sequence should be prioritized? |
I usually structure my sketch file in rows so yes, this priority row by row, from left to right would work perfectly for me |
Renaming across the row (Y position) is my primary use-case. That's 90% of the battle. Renaming across both rows and columns (as shown in the image) would be awesome, but not as critical. Does that answer your question @rodi01? |
I'm working on it, I'm hoping to get it done by the weekend. |
If anyone wants to help me test this featured it would be appreciated. You can download the DEV version of the plugin here: Rename-it-4.5.0-Dev2 I'm still working on the UI but it should be 100% functional. Thank You! |
@rodi01 - Apologies for the delay! I gave it a run through, and it's working fantastically! I shifted artboards around, misaligned them a bit, renamed a whole x/y offset collection, but couldn't get it to break. The only thing that was slightly confusing was this: When selecting artboards that vary across both X and Y positions, and then choosing to rename based on X position, the preview lists the artboards in a non-intuitive order (x position, then y position?). When the two above conditions aren't true, the preview reads |
@krisniles wow! thanks for testing the feature and for your detailed explanation. In regards to the preview being out of order, I was planning to fix that in the final release. Good catch. I love your UI/UX suggestion for the order dropdown. For the initial release, I won't have time to do the last item since the same can be accomplished by using the keyword "%n" in lowercase. I do think that's a better move going forward, so I will change that in the future. Thanks for all your suggestions. Hopefully, I'll get to finish the final release soon. |
Thank you for such useful plugin! I use it almost daily. Here's a quick suggestion:
It seems like currently RenameIt use the order of the layers to apply number sequences, but what if there is an option to use the X and Y positions of the artboards instead?
I organize my artboards in rows, each row is a sequence, from left to right, top to bottom, to create a visual hierarchy. When I rearrange some artboards, even though my rows are now in the right order, the order of the layers are usually not, so when I use the plugin to rename the row with ascending number sequence, the numbers are not in the right order, unless I also reorder the layers.
This seems like a common practice amongst all the designers I know. Is there a workaround?
