All excellent suggestions, @hi5 . Thank you so much for the thoughtful discussion. (I also apologize for the broken "this isn't an animation so it will save as a single-frame image" behavior 🤦♂️ ugh) I will fix the broken behavior first, then overhaul the Export menu a bit. Originally there was only one animated export option (Export animated GIF) and as new animation formats have been added, breaking each format into its own menu makes less and less sense. The new export menu should condense these into a single "Export animation" menu, alongside a new "Export image" or "Export as..." menu for single-frame images. (Text TBD after I study Photoshop and other software's wording.) I will report back when I have something workable to share. Thank you! |

This may be a missing/not yet added feature so I didn't want to make it an issue as such.
I noticed that when I have a single layer image and choose Export, animated... you're shown a warning:
But as far as I can tell nothing is saved nor do you get the "Save as" dialog for the chosen format (gif, png etc)
I would expect one of these:
Export as PNG
(a Save As alias but while keeping the original format[1] e.g. PDI or what have you),Export as Animated PNG
etc, OR combine the Export As formats into one dialog where you can tick a box for Animated / Single layer, soExport as (Animated) PNG
-> dialog allows you choose between single layer/animation format.I don't have a specific preference.
[1] If you do a
Save As
at the moment you continue with the file format you've saved it as, so you have a multi-layer PDI, save as PNG and continue to work on the image you might not remember to save it as a multi-layer format to avoid loosing any changes you've made. Hence anExport As format
might make sense so you save it as as PNG while keeping the original format in your work space which may by a multi-layer format.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
