Question

Asset export in design specs

Every single asset I include in design specs gets zipped. So if I include a group of vector assets every single of them gets delivered as single zip files. So if I have 22 squares with different numbers in them that equals 22 single files. What's the point in that? And what's the point in zipping single files?

    Hi Perrybrus,

    As per the design, you can select the assets that you wish to download from the design spec page, then you have an option the select from the assets which do wish to download from the asset panel and then its downloaded in 1 zip file. Here are more details about the process: - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/xd/help/design-specs-for-developers.html.

    However, it appears that for you every asset is downloading an individual zip file, is that right?

    Thanks,

    I didn't quite get what you were trying to say here. I am aware how the assets are downloaded, that is exactly what Im trying to address here. You have to download every single asset singular one zip file at the time, so why are you zipping single files? The zip format was created to pack multiple files into smaller files size and/or to bundle many files in one file. Why isn't it possible to download many assets at the same time? If the latter was possible one could understand the zip approach, but downloading 22 files one by one as zip files? Where's the logic is this?!

    Hey Perrybrus, I got your point now. So what you are experiencing is, assets from every artboard are being downloaded separately in a zip file. So if you have 22 artboards, you would have 22 zip files.

    Well, it appears that your request is similar to this one here: - Export assets from design specs (we need a better way) – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs. Please upvote it and share your comments as well.

    Please let us know in case you need further assistance.
