Feature Request: Allow multiple replacements

Open seltzdesign opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Thanks for making this plugin. I love the simplicity of it, but there is a use-case that would be great if it could handle it. Often you want to replace the text in a component where you have a bunch of instances but they all say the same thing. But sometimes you just want it to vary it slightly between a few options.

Maybe at the bottom of the plugin where it says "replace to" there could be another tab that says "replace to multiple" and then you get a larger textbox and the buttons underneath are "Replace" and "Randomise". In that case, it could be one item per line to make it easier to copy/paste in a short list of options. "Replace" just replaces the items sequentially and "Randomize" would choose a random item for each.

Thanks for considering.

ps: I know there are plugins like Content Reel, but often its quicker to just type out a bunch of options quickly and I really love how you can select the correct text layer first in your plugin.

Interesting suggestion thank you for explaining the use-case in depth!

As a work around for now, you can just select the correct text layers with Content Buddy, close the plugin and then launch Content Reel with that selection.

Anyway i will think about this suggestion and see if it fits a larger use-case or if it's also helpful for other people.
