Sorry…can NOT get the ${p} to work.

Could someone explain it more?

can get the ${p} to work.
I changed the text layer name to ”${p}name”.
is it the right way?

Hi,

There is a new Lightning Storm release with many JSON and XML updates. Take a look at our tutorial to see the new features: //exportkit.com/plugin/environments/xml/convert-a-psd-to-xml-and-json.

1. Vector support
2. ${p} tag support for text styles
3. Inline Code support for raw Photoshop layer effects

Try the new layer effects support for Photoshop when you use Inline Code/Content – it now provides ALL layer effects and properties!

Hi,

This sound very much like a new layer tag / feature request.

Passing custom values: Normally we reserve this for Text layers, but your description sounds more like a custom layer type property.  This would require a new layer tag to allow you add a prop and value to your JSON/XML output.

Link to another layer: There are plans to add ${link} tag support, but this is mainly for anchors and url links.  You could re-purpose the url address as anything, eg. a layer name as in your description.  It would be up to the developer how they want to use the information.

Send us a feature request (be descriptive) for Passing custom values: //exportkit.com/contact – we will ask Dev if link tag for JSON/XML is included in next release.

also, I need a text field which ”link” to another layer name so the JS can manipulate the other layers.

For example, layer1 need to be passed a number 2, layer2 need to be passed a number 8 to the JSON file, the JS script is doing something different based on the number.

Hi,

${p} tag is planned for the next release (no set date yet), this will provide a new property for text elements:

"htmlText":"My <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">html</span> text"

Are you also requesting a unique id for elements?

how to use the ${p}?
when will it be there?

just a magic number for different layer to use in json/js

Hi,

The only way at the moment is Inline Code with additional Text info. We have a lot of information that we can provide, but the plugin was originally designed to provide commonly used info. We now realized customers use our plugin for everything.

Our next release (json/xml features):

${p} tag support, this will give you html text.

vector/svg support

Let us know what information you are looking for and we can pass it to Dev.

IMPORTANT:

Photoshop +others have A LOT of properties that do not work well outside of Adobe – but we can provide them.
