[Feature request] Relink library 🔗👉🔗
Closed this issue · 5 comments
It would be absolutely cool if were possible to relink a set of symbols instanced from a given library, to another one that contains the same symbols.
This is built-in on Sketch and works well when you have those different libraries outside Abstract. But if you want to switch from a library placed locally (or in Dropbox) and want to switch all symbols to a library that lives in Abstract, it doesn't work.
I think it would an awesome feature for your plugin. Just praying to see it implemented 🙏
hello my friend,
i did little update to make it woro please test it and get back to me with your feedback.
best regards
Wow, that was fast!! ⚡️
Now I can see the plugin is able to relink symbols manually selected through the command "Move selected symbols to library".💪
But it looks like it doesn't work to automatically select all symbols instances before relinking the library by using the command "Move all symbols to library". 😥
Could it be due to the symbol instances I'm trying to relink to another library are nested symbols? 🤔
BTW: I landed on your plugin looking for a solution to fix this workflow through this forum, in which a user recommended me your plugin. Some comments after, another user recommended another plugin that actually works fine with this workflow (just to let you know there's someone that already fixed it, just in case you want to take a look at this plugin or event don't continue with this issue).
I can add another function that move them but moving all symbols that is also from library it will move everything i bad way,
like if you have some symbols from the iOS library that is already in sketch it will do it also with all of them
I think maybe I'm misunderstanding the primary function of your plugin: to move symbols from one file (local symbols or library instances) to another file that works as a library.
What I'm looking for is a way to, given a layout file with symbol instances from Library A, select and swap all symbol instances to Library B. Not to actually move any symbol, but swap the library they are referred to. That's what actually Symbol Swapper does.
I thought I could hack that workflow by using your plugin, but maybe I have to use that other plugin that fits better into my scenario.
Thank you very very much for your help and fast support. Can I send you a ☕️ via Paypal or Litecoin?
Oh, this is great feedback.
I got inspired now for what should be the next update.
so we can add feature of replace library with library.
It is mainly 2 drop downs and from library to library and it do everything for you.
Oh thank you for your coffee ☕️i accept it my paypal is migo_hamada@hotmail.com
