There’s a degree to which this, or similar requests, might be read more as trying to make dev hand over easier, more straightforward.
At the moment a dev is somewhat left to their own devices in working out which elements to export — it may not be obvious to them that X icon needs to be exported by selecting Y parent container, that subtly adds extra padding, handles baseline shift/text alignment etc etc.
Sure, manually adding red-lines and instructions can help, but in a fast-moving, small team that’s not always feasible, or kept up-to-date.
So, some means of ‘filtering’ for devs, to see just those elements with Export settings could be useful.
Part of this puzzle might be helped if I could set export properties on Components once, and have that value passed through to all instances thereof – would anyone agree with that approach?
