what happens if i work from few PSDs and the final rendered PSD contains all the elements that previously existed in those three PSDs. will the assets be replaced seamlessly?
When you sync/import a PSD, it works as before as if it had:
- Import into existing skeleton (the one the image node belongs to)
- Replace existing attachment unchecked (this option has been removed, so if you want to import the same attachment again, you need to delete it)
- All respective images are reimported again (you can enable/disable the overwrite confirmation)
another question is, will the draw order be improved? can slots be keyed seperately?
Misaki already answered these questions. But if you are uncertain how draw order is managed when Import PSD is used, you can read more about it in the user guide.
And last note, i have created a PSD script that turns PSD groups into draworder folders and when marked transforms grouped layers into multiple attachment under same slots.
will something like that exist in 4.3?
As far as I understood from your script, it does something like this:
Before:
group1
├─ arm
└─ head
After:
group1
├─ [slot:group1/arm]
│ └─ arm
└─ [slot:group1/head]
└─ head
Groups can also be used as a simple organizational tool in PS and shouldn’t always be converted into slots.
But you can get a very similar result if you name your group like this:
[slot:group1/*]
├─ arm
└─ head
During import, pattern substitution will transform the slot of the two layers as if they were named like this:
group1
├─ [slot:group1/arm] arm
└─ [slot:group1/head] head
So, the effect should be the same as your script, but only on the desired groups.
