Export groups

If you wish to export various files at once, you can define an export group. For example this will let you export separate pictures of the puzzle and solution all in one go, or a set of files for sending to a publisher.

To define an export group you first need to save the export settings that you want to group together. Do this in the Export window. Then select the Export groups tab at the top of the Export window and select the export formats that you want to export together. You can either export the selected formats directly, or save your group for future re-use. To save the group type a name in the New box and press the Add button.

Your saved export groups are shown in the left panel of the Export groups page. Select a group to view or edit the included export settings. You can select a group or setting and press the Delete key if you wish to delete it. Deleting an export format will also delete it from any groups in which it is included.

There is also an option to zip the exported files into a single zip file; to do this select the Zip exported files box.

When you save the group you will be prompted for a file name. The extension will be changed appropriately for the different format files you are exporting. However, if you are exporting multiple files in the same format, for example a picture of the grid and solution, the filename for each export needs to be made distinct. To do this the program uses the text after the hyphen in the export format name. For example if you have an export format called "Picture - solution", the file exported as part of the export group might be called "MyPicture_solution".

If you have saved an export group, you can export it quickly by selecting it from the Export format option on the File menu. You can also bulk export files for multiple previously-saved puzzles by using Export multiple files... on the File menu, selecting the files to export, selecting the group to use, and then a folder to export the files to.
