Impossible to export textures to multiple psd files

This seems to be there on purpose but it has been annoying me since the beginning of Painter. Why isn't it possible to export textures to multiple .psd files, just like exporting .tga files? The exporter will always ignore the export preset and will just export only one .psd file with a bunch of layers. Why would that be useful? At first I thought this must be a bug, and nobody cared to fix it. But it is even noted under the exported maps:

This makes no sense to me. Please make this setting optional. I would prefer to have the choice of using .psd files like any other fileformat.

Hi Cyril,

 

Thanks for replying to my request and checking with the team. I hope they will be able to fix the issue and squeeze it into one of the upcoming updates. Painter can easily create a single .psd file, it should also be able to create multiple :-D. I'm certain some people are dependant on this feature, so you shouldn't replace it. But making it optional would be really great.

 

Cheers,

David

Hello David,

 

From my knowledge (I could be wrong with this one), this is not really a bug, but more of a limitation.

I'm not sure whether there're plans for changing this behavior, but I'll check with the team.
