Advanced spritesheet exporter for Aseprite

This extension adds a more sophisticated spritesheet export command to Aseprite.

Installation

To install, go to Aseprite's Settings -> Extensions -> Add Extension, and select advanced-spritesheet-export.aseprite-extension

Features

Choose which layers to export, regardless of visibility.
Export groups as a single sprite.

Usage

All layers are exported by default. To ignore a layer or group, select Layer -> Advanced Export -> Toggle Ignore.
To export a layer group as a single sprite, select Layer -> Advanced Export -> Toggle Merge Group.
Invoke the tool via File -> Export -> Export Sprite Sheet (Advanced).

Additional Notes

Toggling the advanced export settings on a layer will modify the layer colors. If you are using layer colors for other purposes, this extension will not work well for you. (This may be configurable in a future update)
Ignored layers always take precedence over merging; if a sublayer in a group is ignored, it will not be merged into the final sprite.
