Feature Request: Rename to custom name

Open ryanbelisle opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Possible to create option allowing renaming to a custom name for all features?

Tend to rename all symbol instance names manually vs just using the master symbol name so it's quicker to scan in the layer list.

E.g. Master Symbol = UI Kit / Buttons / Primary / 44px / Normal gets renamed as [btn-primary] once it's included in an artboard.

@ryanbelisle Interesting idea, I kinda wish I thought of myself. I probably didn't because it flips the script a bit on what the plugin was intended to do, but I think the idea still fits within the paradigm of what the plugin can do... so I will give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion. 😊

No problem. Thanks again for considering this!

@ryanbelisle, @mattiasj, please check out version 2.6 of the plugin... I added a new function "Rename Selected Instance(s) with Options…", which will allow you to rename a selected instance (and master), and all other instances of the selected instance as well.
