Paddy Sketch Plugin Versions Save

• #76 #57 Fixed an annoying issue where elements within a symbol master would shift to the left after selecting an instance of the symbol
• For now I've disabled the alert saying 'Update padding fro all x instances?'
• #66 Now if your text layer has a value that starts with '-' and the layer name matches its value; the layer will no longer be ignored

I've had a good run of somehow introducing really bad bugs with each release 😅 Let's hope this is an end to that steak. 🤞

The is a quick one to fix a really annoying issue where after grouping layers, some of the child layers would be selected as well as the group.

This also fixes the issue when creating multiple layers (e.g. rectangles) and each new layer would get selected along with previously selected layers.

• Fixed the issue with undo (Command + Z) not working!! 😅

• Fixed an issue where the warning to update all instances of a symbol would appear, even when the symbol didn't have any padding within it

• Fixed an issue where after entering padding for selection, the previously selected layers would no longer be selected

• Fixed an issue where you could no longer press 'enter' to go 'into' a group, or 'esc' to go out of it

• Added the ability to toggle the automation of Paddy – so that if you find it having performance issues, you can turn in off via 'Paddy > Enable / disable automatic updating' — then you can update it as needed with the commands 'Enter padding for selection' and 'Spacing for selection'

This release should hopefully make Paddy much more stable and reliable. 🔥

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Craft's 'Duplicate' would show the alert "Please select at least one layer to duplicate" randomly!!
• #42 If padding/spacing is invalid e.g. [A10], it will be ignored instead of being '0'
• #41 #35 #32 Fixed an issue where Paddy would intermittently not auto-update
• #39 #33 Fixed an issue where Paddy didn't seem to update Symbols on occasion
• #22 Reverted back to previous behaviour for 'Fixed' text in a symbol. If you really want your symbol width to be fixed; either group it all in a group with 'Fixed width'; or set the specific width on the padding layer; e.g. [20; w=180]

Enhancements:

• #38 Layers will now be padded/spaced with pixel fitting, if you have 'Pixel fitting' turned on in Sketch Preferences ('Preferences' > 'Layers' > 'Pixel Fitting')
• #37 If a padding background has a minimum width or height, and the other layers are smaller; it will center itself amongst them
• #36 Now after manipulating a Symbol Master, Paddy will ask you if you want to update all instances of the symbol – as this can take quite a while if you have many
• #27 Detached overrides should now be automatically re-calculated. Sketch currently has a bug with 'detach from symbol' — but hopefully this will overcome it a bit

• Paddy should now be slightly more optimised at when it should run or not
• Duplicating or deleting layers, should update Paddy automatically now
• It will now check for the padding properties in the last instance of [ ] in the layer name
• It should now work better when you create a 'Button' symbol, with center aligned text
• You can now have multiple alignment options. e.g. [m c] for Middle and Center
• You can now auto-fill the implied padding amount with Command + p – to simply skip entering the values in the prompt
• It will now ignore nested layers that have the prefix '-'

• Now when you delete a group within a group that has auto-spacing/padding, it should update, without having to re-select then deselect layers
• After you resize/rename a group, it should re-layout it's children — you used to have to select a child layer first
• Fixed an issue when a group has alignment set to 'Middle/Center' and elements would shift by 1px back and forth
• Fixed an issue where 'fixed width' text fields did not keep their width fixed in Symbols
• Now when your main text label in a group is right-aligned. The group/symbol will resize from the top-right corner, rather than from the top-left

• Fixed an where a symbol may have Anima's 'Auto Layout' Stack groups, which wouldn't resize the symbol correctly
• Fixed an issue where settings padding to ignore left and right e.g. '[10 x]' within a symbol would not work
• Fixed an issue where groups were jumping around, especially when they had an alignment of 'm'
