New Photoshop Exporter- ExportThis!
After a long and (mostly) successful run of controlling Photoshop with Python, I decided to take a stab at writing a fully integrated Photoshop Extension, this time using the native Javascript based API. The end result is a cleaner, smaller and all round better Photoshop tool that does a number of kinda cool things. Export This! Some of the User-facing features Because its written to take advantage of the native API there is a significant difference in app size- Texture Monkey being almost 40mb when including all the additional GUI and Python library files it required, vs a 29kb .ZXP installer for ExportThis. The ZXP is easily distributed, and uses Adobe Extension Manager CC to install/update/remove itself. Within the tool, the document template system was added to allow artists to easily make documents that would be compatible with the exporter (as a lot of it is group name/hierachy based) but I expanded on it to allow artists to make and save their own particular document setups...
