4. The Screen Setup of PhotoLine

4.12 The Export Attributes

The Export Attributes dialog contains SVG properties on the one hand and special export settings that can be assigned to layers on the other.

SVG Properties

The following SVG properties can be assigned:

Please note that PhotoLine uses these values unchanged when exporting SVG. So they must be syntactically correct, otherwise you will get a corrupted SVG file.

Export Settings

In PhotoLine you can assign export settings to individual layers - and also to pages (see chapter 4.10). Later you can export all layers with such settings in one go. This is useful, for example, if you manage several icons in one document or create a watch face for a smartwatch. A layer can have several export settings. In this case, several files will be created for this layer during the export.

By default, the export settings only show the following:

The first drop-down list gives you access to the presets. This allows you to save the current export settings of the layer as a preset, or apply previously saved settings to the active layer.

Next to this, you specify which area of the layer is to be exported:

When exporting, a page-sized file is created, but of course only the current layer is visible. This is especially useful for icons.

If the active layer is a group, the sum of the sizes of all children will be used as output size, including the invisible ones. So you can create an invisible rectangle in a group and use it to directly control the output size.

The visible content of the layer determines the output size.

With the plus sign you can add a new export setting.

"Quick Export Path" is a destination directory used for the Quick Export function. This can be set by double-clicking on it, but more on that later.

If you create a new setting via the plus sign, an additional line will appear:

A file will be created for each setting later when exporting.

There are three input fields:

In the Export Attributes there are three additional commands at the bottom of the dialog:
