Feature Request: Swap Library Text Styles

griffincherry commented 6 years ago

Hey there,

Your plugin's been a lifesaver for me!

I have a design system and workflow for creating a bunch of white-labeled applications. What I have now is one set of Sketch files that contain the screens for each application, and then a Library file that contains all the re-usable symbols that are used across those files. What I do is make a copy of that Library, modify the symbols for a different brand, and use Symbol Swapper to change which Library the design files reference. Works great!

But it doesn't help me with text styles. When Sketch 51 came out I was pretty excited to see the shared text styles feature, and moved all my styles into the master Library. But there doesn't seem to be a way to switch which Library a given document references. I have to manually select all instances of each style and drill-in through the Shared Libraries menu to select a different one. That's pretty painful.

Now, if Symbol Swapper had a way to select which Library my text styles are linked to, that would be huge. Finger crossed you can help me out here.

Thanks!

Library style synch would be awesome!

@griffincherry , @vincmac I am looking into handling library styles as well. Thanks for the feedback, and for using Symbol Swapper.

I could really use this as well :)

I would also love the shared styles from a library moving over too.

Style Swapper plugin is now available (https://github.com/sonburn/style-swapper). In this first version, you can swap the style of the selected layer to a style in a library (or move it to the library). The ability to swap/move all styles at once is coming soon! Let me know what you think!

Thanks @sonburn I'm really in . need of the swap/move all styles. Looking forward to it.
