Export Log

View your progress as you export your design
Detailed output log of all layers and folders processed
Error logs for easy debugging

Log Files

Export Kit will log each process as your document exports. You can track the progress of your export, along with your layers per second (LPS) speed, fixes and warnings.

Use this information to both speed up your exports and correct errors in the output.

Faster LPS

You can improve your LPS in a few ways:

1. Close all your folders
+20% Speed
2. Use Smart Object Oriented Photoshop (SOOP) +1000% Speed - not kidding!

Fixes

You should always do your best to correct fixes, but these bugs will not affect your output.

Warnings

You must correct warnings, as these bugs will affect your output.

Feedback

Your comments and feedback will always help to improve Lightning Storm - so don't be shy!

Known Bugs

Code Output Spacing

There may be some extra white space in the code output files when exporting (not always) - fix coming.

[Tab] with Adobe CC

It is natural to press [Tab] when entering your login information, but Adobe CC takes over the [Tab] button and will cause you to go "Full Screen" in Photoshop - be careful.

Editing Custom Output Options

Issue

When editing custom options, pressing [Enter], or [Arrow] keys on the keyboard will have no effect. The reason this happens is because Photoshop will use these keyboard events to control layer elements.

Solution

If you keep your mouse INSIDE the edit area you can use your keyboard keys normally.

Illustrator PARM Error

Illustrator has a KNOWN BUG (since CS2...) with scripting where it will produce a PARM error – once this happens, you MUST quit and restart Illustrator. This bug is known to happen RANDOMLY and WITHOUT CAUSE: Why do I see PARM error in Illustrator?.

Docking Issue – CC2015x

Issue

CC2015 has updated its architecture and docking can cause an unexpected reload of the plugin – this causes Export Kit to think you are sending invalid requests.

Solution

Remove the Plugin Panel from the current location and load it separate - learn more.

WP Nav Menu Background

Issue

We did not escape the image location (when using image backgrounds for menu items), causing the code to break.

Solution

Use shapes with WordPress menu item backgrounds, this will avoid the error and save on bandwidth - fix coming.
