I've tried several scripts and they all appear broken or do not work properly.

I need a method to export objects with the object names as their file names – like tree.jpg or location.png.

The only solution I've found thus far is Layer Exporter. However, this option trims the edges of the images and does not support @2x sizing. Therefore it's not a very good solution.



I can add transparent boxes inside of items like this but I think that this way is wrong.

Also, in CC 2014 the batch renaming of items is broken – it replaces item name with selected format. To avoid this issue you can install dev version of this extension.

I tried also this options:


Export layers as png files from Illustrator in multiple resolutions! by Arcticmill – this script can export only layers or sublayers with # or % in their names. I have a lot of objects and do not want to convert them into sublayers.
MultiExporter has “Export Layers” → “Selected items' layers” in UI but falls into error Error: an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('MRAP') so I don't know the result of this action.
There is also a MultiExporter fork by thierryc with PSD export and multisize that includes @2x export but it has a similar problem.
Layer Export by Metamorphical also exports only top-level layers
Export Layers as Images by John Wundes just does nothing in CC 2014.


Are there any automated options to export images retaining object names and supporting @2x sizing?
