Why do we need an assets page? #10

Why not just export the layers directly instead of adding them to the assets page and then exporting them later? Is it just to have somewhere to see the assets separated out?

There are problems with having multiple layers on artboards. Slices don't work, and you have to set and reset stuff like visibility and position. There's lots of advantages to breaking out another page, and I think this could be pretty helpful in the future once we get symbols working.

Makes sense.

What do you think about generating the assets page but deleting it at the end of the process so that it's obscured from the user? I think it'd be cleaner from a user perspective and would also cut down on some of the code, like finding the existing assets page and generating the label layers. Not sure if that conflicts with ideas you had about symbols, though.

Agreed, I delete it by default now. Its very useful for debugging, but until the assets are symbols, it doesn't make sense to have it.
