What and why

The Asset Export panel menu gets three items that the Asset Export panel help lists: Create Sub-folders, Open Location after Export and Format Settings…. Before this change, the first two were only checkboxes in Export for Screens, and Format Settings opened only from the gear by the format rows.

  • Create Sub-folders is a check item that runs assets.settings.set {subfolders}. It is checked as Export for Screens opens on it: on for a document without export settings, and on for remembered folders per row, format or item. The panel's Export follows it. Editing the rows, or setting Open Location after Export, in a document without settings keeps it on.
  • Open Location after Export is a check item on the desktop that runs assets.settings.set {openLocation}. The command now takes openLocation and keeps it in document.exportSettings, outside presets and the reply. The web build leaves the item out because it downloads the files.
  • Format Settings… opens Export for Screens on the Assets tab with the panel's assets checked, showing the settings of the first row's format, as the gear does.
  • assets.settings.set refuses a subfolders or openLocation value that is not true, false or null. subfolders: false given without exportPreset now also ends a remembered folder per format or item, so the dialog opens with the box off too.
  • Export for Screens reads remembered empty folders as none, as the export does.

Behavior changes in the panel's Export:

  • In a document with no export settings, the files used to go into the picked folder itself. They now go into a folder per row (1x/Badge.png), the default the help page describes and the one Export for Screens shows.
  • After Export for Screens exports with Create Sub-folders by Format (or a preset with a folder per format or item is applied), the panel's Export used to write the pictures into the folder itself. It now uses the same folders.
  • 3D assets' mesh files still go in the folder itself.

Params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md and the progress line in docs/target-app-parity.md describe the new behavior.

How it was tested

New tests in crates/ui-egui/src/panels/tests_asset_export.rs:

  • the_menu_sets_create_subfolders_and_open_location_and_export_follows_them: both items start checked; Export writes 1x/Badge.png and shows the file; with both off, Export writes Badge.png and does not show it; Export for Screens opens with both off; Create Sub-folders on again sets a folder per row; bad values are refused.
  • export_uses_a_remembered_folder_per_format, row_edits_keep_create_subfolders_on_and_a_preset_can_turn_it_off, empty_remembered_folders_are_create_subfolders_off, open_location_off_leaves_create_subfolders_on and format_settings_opens_the_first_rows_format_settings.
  • export_writes_into_the_picked_folder now expects the 1x row's folder.

New engine tests in crates/engine/src/tests/assets.rs: open_location_is_remembered_in_the_export_settings and create_sub_folders_off_alone_ends_a_folder_per_format_or_item.

With the panel's new subfolders and folders params removed, export_writes_into_the_picked_folder, the menu test and export_uses_a_remembered_folder_per_format fail.

Commands run on the final tree, based on 460d211995:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo check --workspace --tests
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-engine -p vectorcraft-ui-egui --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-ui-egui --lib: 4650 passed, 2 ignored (the i18n tests included; each catalog gets a "Format Settings…" row)
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-engine --lib -- assets screen export_preset exportPreset: 114 passed
  • cargo xtask brands, layers, assets, wasm

Checklist

  • cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm).
  • No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or
    unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or
    messages. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user
    (why and how).
  • Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md).
  • Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Asset Export now offers controls for creating subfolders and opening the export location after export. Saved choices are shared with Export for Screens.
    • Format Settings opens the relevant settings for the selected format. When no format-specific settings are available, PNG settings are shown.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Export settings now handle empty folder choices consistently, and changing subfolder options better preserves preset folder settings.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance for Asset Export settings and preset management.

…at Settings in the panel menu

Create Sub-folders and Open Location after Export are check items that set
the settings the panel shares with Export for Screens, and the panel's
Export follows them. Create Sub-folders is checked as the dialog opens on
it: on for a document without export settings, and on for remembered
folders per row, format or item, which the panel's Export now uses too.
Format Settings... opens Export for Screens on the Assets tab showing the
first row's format settings.

assets.settings.set takes openLocation (kept in document.exportSettings,
not in presets), refuses a subfolders or openLocation value that is not
true, false or null, and with subfolders false given alone also ends a
remembered folder per format or item. Export for Screens reads remembered
empty folders as none, as an export does.

Walkthrough

The change adds persisted openLocation and subfolders settings, applies saved folder choices to Asset Export, and adds panel controls for these settings and format configuration. Documentation and tests cover the settings behavior and panel interactions.

Changes: Asset Export Settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persisted setting behavior
crates/engine/src/cmd/assets.rs, crates/engine/src/tests/assets.rs
The settings command validates openLocation and subfolders, applies folder-mode rules, and tests defaults, accepted values, and preset behavior.
Panel controls and export integration
crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/export_for_screens.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/asset_export.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panels/tests_asset_export.rs, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md
The panel uses saved folder and open-location settings for exports. Its menu adds setting toggles and format-settings navigation. Tests and documentation cover these controls and behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

This change adds remembered subfolder and open-location settings and a Format Settings menu item to the Asset Export panel. No functional defect remains from the evidence reviewed. Check that the CI compile failure in the render crate is unrelated to this change before merging.

Explanation

The title names the three main menu additions to the Asset Export panel: Create Sub-folders, Open Location after Export, and Format Settings. The changeset adds these items, along with the matching assets.settings.set parameters, export behavior changes, docs, and tests, so the title matches the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's two required sections, 'What and why' and 'How it was tested', and fills both with specific detail. It explains the three menu items, the new openLocation setting, the subfolder default and behavior changes, and lists the new tests and the commands run. The checklist items are partly ticked. The cargo xtask ci item is unchecked and the author states the full CI run was not completed, which is an honest gap but not a missing section. The description is mostly complete.

Use automatically cleaned temporary directories for the new export tests.

If an assertion fails after export, these tests skip remove_dir_all and leave their files behind. Use an isolated temporary-directory guard that also cleans up during unwinding. This removes the manual reset and cleanup paths.

Based on learnings, filesystem tests must use “isolated temporary directories with cleanup” or another accepted isolation and cleanup mechanism.

Also applies to: 604-605
