Ilustrator CS6 - How do I edit the output settings?

Jul 17, 2012 7:07 AM

Tags: #settings #images #output

Hi, its really annoying that I cant change the output settings when I save for web something. I just want to tell Illustrator that I dont want to create a new images folder everytime I save something, and I dont want to add a _N at the end of the file name...

 

Is there a way to change this?, I couldnt find it.

 

Thanks.

    for the "_N" at the end, compare the screenshot above, you most likely have an "_N" in one of those fields (eg: trigger name)

    This feature has been removed from CS6:

    As quoted from this Adobe employee blog post on the new CS6 Save for Web feature:

    The Output Settings dialog box, used to control HTML file formatting, slice naming, and background image handling, has been removed.

     

    I haven't had any luck figuring out a work-around, but I'll keep poking around.

    I dont have that option in Illustrator CS6, after "Unlink All Slices" the popup menu ends, Im using Windows, I see you have the Mac version, could be because of that?

    Yeah, I would like to know why there is no way to edit these settings either. As a web designer that hand codes everything, it is horribly, horribly inefficient to have to change filenames and folders constantly.

     

    I thought Adobe was all about the design industry..... Thanks a lot.

    Yep... I am bored too with that... Totally breaks my workflow. We don't need that crappy images folder. Don't need slice's number in files name too.

    (Guys the table design died so many years ago...)

    Hi there, did you have any luck with this? I have just installed the demo and I use Save for Web function all the time too. Is it on the CS6 full programme also?

    Demo version is full version with a time limit.

    Since there are no signs of interest for this topic by Adobe, I am going to start working with Sketch 2 :

    http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch/

     

    Of course it doesn't have all the features of Illustrator, but Sketch seems to have very handy tool for slicing and some other well thought tools for web or app design.
