Create Icon Library with Named SVG Export Capability

[Kathy5FFA]

Hello. I'd like some input to see if there is a way to do what I need...
I want to create an icon library which will consist of hundreds of icons. They are categorized so I'd like to have a layer of icons for each category so that all the layers will be hidden except the layer of icons that I would like to view at a certain time. I'd like to have each icon on it's own artboard so I can name each icon separately. That way, if I need to export them as SVG files, they will each automatically have their own appropriate filename. There are too many icons to have them all on one layer. The problem is that if there are multiple layers, each icon on it's own layer can only have one name because you can only have one artboard for all the layers. Can you recommend a good way for me to do what I need to do? Basically, have named icons on multiple layers that are exportable with their appropriate filenames. Thank you!

a slite work arround is to have them as symbles in an illustrator document. and add keywords to EPS files over SVG. currently there is a bug with illustrator and it will not save any metadata with SVG files.
i mainly use bridge to sort and keyword. trying to get in touch with the bridge dev team to work on useing the ai tools like in Premiere to auto tag and sort digital assets.
let me know if you would like to colaborate more and building out a process flow to get this working better.
