Just please do exactly what Photoshop allows - tell the app what artboards or elements you want to auto-generate, and then they magically export after every change you make. It's wonderful, simple, and save some time. It's also a good advantage over other UI design apps. Photoshop even creates and names a folder for you, automatically writes over old files with the same filenames, let's you set export parameters, etc.

It's way better than constantly having select artboards, press buttons, select the folder to export to, reorganize the folder when old files aren't automatically deleted...you get my point.

We like how this works in photoshop and generate has streamlined our work flow. It would be nice to have this in XD as well.

Generate Assets Like the one in Photoshop, automatically generates files next to the current xd file with all the layers having extensions .jpg, .png e.t.c.

In Photoshop I use the image assets options in the layer name to Automatically export to the filetype and quality I need. For instance: 'logo.jpg80%'. This is super super handy when I have 12 banners in artboards and I can simply export all the assets at once. I'd really like to use XD because PS is just really slow when using artboards. But im missing this feature. Assets for html5 banners can't be 100% in png or jpg size.

So my request is: can we set filetype & quality per asset for exporting?

I agree and the Photoshop generator is one of my favorite feature. But that's where I'm getting a bit confused about what the Adobe team wants us to adopt as a workflow. I guess the whole point is to move the UI design from Photoshop/Illustrator to Xd and by that I mean to build the layout only in Xd with some assets created with whatever software you like? In that case I would definitely need a generator feature like in Photoshop. Otherwise I'm still a bit hesitating on what software using to build my final mockups.

Photoshop's original generator feature is my favorite and most used feature.

Over time the Photoshop team has placed more emphasis over the export dialogues/GUI, however, the automatic image assets generator is the deciding factor for me. It is the reason why I use Photoshop to assemble my mockups over Illustrator (I have given this decision much thought for quite a while), as both a designer and developer. The generator feature allows me to add an extension (E.G. .png, .jpg, .svg) to the end of the file name and it will generate the files and update them without me having to click through a GUI every time I need the assets updated. This saves me time and makes the transition from design to development absolutely painless.

If XD were to integrate this generator feature for asset export - along with an asset panel or a layer panel where I could manage assets - it would become my number one mockup and prototype tool. Without it, it is very difficult for me to leave Photoshop as a prototyping tool.

One thing that I liked about what you guys have done with photoshop is allow a user to select many files in a folder or artboard, right click and choose to export all files as separate pieces. Right now, if you highlight, you export the whole screen as one or have to export one at a time.

By giving us a layers panel to see whats in front, in back, and be able to group, that would give us a better opportunity to bulk export pngs separately.

Actually it is not very clear. Can you please describe you idea a bit better for the rest of us. Thanks.
