Build reusable presets

Save rename patterns, export configurations, prompts, API keys, and naming-convention links without losing control.

What a preset stores

ArtFlow has several preset types because each solves a different repeated decision:

Preset Stores Does not do automatically
Rename button Label and naming pattern Select layers or bypass preview
Export preset Current export configuration Start an export
AI prompt preset Saved naming prompt Spend a request until Run AI is chosen
API key preset A Gemini or TinyPNG key Guarantee service quota
Convention preset A naming convention link/profile Change a project unless selected

Keep preset names specific enough to distinguish projects or output targets.

Rename pattern tokens

Custom rename buttons can combine literal text with:

{name}    current layer name
{i}       sequence index
{parent}  direct parent group
{group}   group path
{type}    pixel, smart, text, or group

Example:

ui_{parent}_{name}_{i}

Test the pattern on a small selection with Preview enabled. Parent and group values inherit source PSD naming quality, so validate the result if legacy names contain spaces or temporary labels.

Export presets

Configure Export first, then save the current configuration. Applying an export preset updates settings only; it does not write files.

Use:

  • Set to load a preset,
  • Update to replace it with current settings,
  • Rename to clarify ownership or target,
  • Delete to remove an obsolete configuration.

Include format, scale, padding, filtering, folder behavior, and optimization expectations in the preset label when confusion is likely.

Prompt presets

Store prompts by naming mode. A UI naming prompt and a general asset-description prompt are not interchangeable.

Review a saved prompt after the naming profile changes. A prompt cannot override the validator, but stale instructions can produce weaker suggestions and waste quota.

Key presets

Saved keys allow switching or service fallback behavior. Treat keys as secrets:

  • do not put them in screenshots,
  • do not include them in support logs,
  • do not commit exported settings,
  • revoke a key that may have been exposed.

Maintenance

Review presets when a project convention, destination folder, Unity version, or external service changes. Delete or rename ambiguous presets instead of accumulating several entries called “Default.”

Reset Settings removes saved configuration broadly. Use targeted preset controls for routine cleanup.
