[SOLVED] Can't export slices Locked

Just bought this extension and I'm now wishing there had been a way to try it first, because it doesn't seem to be able to do the things I wanted it to. I have single file with some textures split into slices, and wanted to batch export each slice as its own file. However, I receive an error message (referencing a failure at the second slice) every time I try to export with the PNG setting, and when exporting as a spritesheet, the console displays a successful export for each slice, but all I actually get in my destination folder is an empty "spritesheets" folder, and a single export of the whole image file as if I hadn't used the extension at all.


I've tried changing the color mode from Indexed to RGB after seeing another thread, but the issue still persists afterwards.


I'm hoping there's just something simple I'm doing wrong, because if this works, it would save me a lot of time, and I'd prefer to not have to ask for a refund.

Hi. Spritesheet export is the wrong type for this. Try PNG. It will export each slice in a separate file 

I did try PNG, exporting with only PNG checked instantly returned an error for one of my slices, then opened a new aseprite file of a black square. No images were exported into the folder

what did the error say? Can you post a screenshot?

So, slight development: as I was screenshotting the error, I realized that this error was resulting from misunderstanding how the directory worked. I changed the path so that exports now target an "exports" folder in the x64 folder.

Making this change resulted in exports without error! So, it was a silly error on my part, not realizing the directory was looking where the aseprite file was saved. Oops.

As a slight aside, are there any plans to support indexed color mode?

It’s great to hear that you got it working!!

Yes, the directory path is based on the location of the file. As of the indexed color mode: It will be addressed in a later update! 

Have a good week!
