Photoshop GUI Exporter

The Defold Photoshop GUI Exporter is a tool with the purpose of making the workflow between Photoshop and Defold easier, specifically regarding GUI creation. It’s made by Martin Dahlin (@Martin_Dahlin) , technical artist here at King.

The extension makes it easier to take a GUI design and layout from Photoshop and turn it into a GUI scene (.gui) in Defold.

Information from each layer – such as name, size or position – will be exported to file format that Defold understands, and will be represented as nodes in the GUI scene graph. Additional data such as pivot positions or slice9 properties are stored as per-layer metadata which means that every layer will have it’s own unique properties – just like Defold nodes does. These properties are then displayed on and managed by the extension panel inside Photoshop.
