Illustrator compatibility?

Open j-brown opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Noticed this package is setup for PS and AE. Was curious if there is some kind of tech limitation that prevents it from working with AI, or if it's possible and just hasn't been implemented yet?

Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to trying yet. It should be totally possible, but I'm not sure what all needs to be done yet. Which is a real shame because Illustrator is my favorite design tool.

If this worked for illustrator, what would you use it for?

Image exportation. It's nothing that can't be done with Adobe's Common Extensibility Platform. This seems like it might have better performance though. Was just curious. If you think it's possible to do in AI, I might start tinkering see what happens

Also, it'd be a lot easier to wrap unit tests around something like this in node.js land, as opposed to Extendscript.

I would love to see this support Illustrator as well. Let me know if there is any way that I could help.

I'm not actively maintaining this project right now. I had a big replacement for it in the works, but that has been cancelled. That being said, it should be relatively straightforward to change this code to work with Illustrator. But it'll take some trial and error to get two way communication rock solid. I wish I could help right now, but life is crazy these days. Sorry
