Like many others, I LOVE this plugin and use it for managing and organizing symbols.

One area it has always failed is dealing with icons. Especially a robust icon set. Having an icon group of 100+ is really hard to navigate with the grouping feature, but otherwise I love it.

It would be awesome to have the behavior mimic the Symbol Organizer plugin

(But without the finicky behavior regarding non-symbol art boards present.)

How this would change (and improve) my workflow:

Current

  1. Right now, I create a separate page for icon symbols. I adjust, manage and organize the icon symbol art boards on this page
  2. I add a "readme" art board or two with instructions for my coworkers re: how to use the symbols most effectively, and add to the library.
  3. To organize the icon symbols, I install "Symbol Organizer," which gives me an error about the "readme" art boards.
  4. I move the "readme" art boards to another page, run the Symbol Organizer plugin, and move the "readme" art boards back to their correct page.
  5. About 6 months later, when I clean out my plugins list, I remove Symbol Organizer. (Why do I have this? I have the Artboard-Tools plugin!)
  6. Rinse & repeat.

New and improved:

  1. No more "Symbol Organizer" plugin.
  2. This would allow me to keep my "readme" art boards on the same page as the icon symbols and have them all be organized 😄

(thanks for all the hard work over the years you've made and maintained this plugin by the way!)
