Auto-export on save #51

Closed LeNouveau closed 2 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to always export my drawing on save ? Not everyone know how to use .excalidraw files and it is repetitive to export the file à each update.

Some options would be :

Where ? (next to my source file, in my case)
Which format ? (.svg, but it could also be .png)
Filename ? (I would only change the extension)

Regards,

Did you try to us an .excalidraw.svg or .excalidraw.png file extension ? It allows to store both the schema and the image in the same file. You can see a demo in this tweet: https://twitter.com/excalidraw/status/1534585011361423360

I'm going to label this as wontfix since I feel like using a file with a .excalidraw.png extension is a better way to garanty that the schema and the image are in sync.

Hi,

You're right, I did know this feature but is works as I wished.

Thank you !
