Is there any chance to retrieve all symbols?
With Sketch 45 and after running symbol-organizer 11.0.0 I lost all my symbols...

It is nice you can change group title above the symbols, but after running the plugin it is reset to default one - would be great if that style was preserved.

Great plugin! One of the most used plugins that I use in Sketch.

I noticed this bug after downloading the plugin from github master (I downloaded it directly from github to fixed the aforementioned symbol disappearing bug reported for Sketch 45). The symbol group titles are not aligning correctly, see screenshot:

Apologies for opening a ticket here.

However, I Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for sharing this plugin. I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to re-organise my sketch symbols (mobile components) from a large project in a beautifully ordered manner.

So to state again - a BIG thank you from me (and I'm sure many others)

In the most recent sketch release 45.1, symbol organizer removes all symbols from the symbols page. Symbols on pages then show errors like below.

When I run the plugin it just turns my symbols page white and nothing happens. I have confirmed the same problem with several other designers on my team.

Any word on a fix for this? I love the plugin and used it all the time.
Thank you.

In addition to Max Per Row/Column, I'd love the ability to specify the max height of a column. I have a few symbols that are rather large and would prefer if they don't stack so tall or at least don't stack more than a couple. While I'd like my smaller symbols to organize based on # per column.

Hey,
just run into a weirdest bug. When i run a symbol organizer in my sketch 45.2 it deletes all the symbols in a document.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Many plugins have stopped working for this version and this is one of them :( are you going to update to match this version? Thanks.

Symbol Organizer is not compatible with Sketch 45.1 - After Running the script, it erases ALL symbols, used or unused and there is no way to get them back. All you are left with is a blank symbols page and error boxes in your document.

First off, thanks for creating this plugin! It's been a great help in making my symbols page more approachable and organized.

I have an idea if you are open to it? Provide a toggle that would allow you to switch between the current 'vertical' layout and create a new 'horizontal' layout. Horizontal layout would position the symbols from left to right first, then top to bottom.

I'm running Sketch v45.2 and anytime I run the the symbol organizer it just deletes all my symbols.

When "Remove Unused Symbols" is checked and Symbol Organizer is run, it deletes artboards that have been converted into symbols on other pages. Not sure why this happens or how it handles symbol artboards, but would be great if this would not happen. Thanks!

After updating to Sketch 46, this plugin just seems to remove all symbols from the page.
Was working fine with Sketch 45.

Symbol Organizer 12.2 with Sketch 46.2 overlaps the label onto the symbols after this latest update. I wondered if there were some code collision with other plugins, but I deactivated all my other plugins and it still occurs.

Here is my configuration:

Group Definition: 2nd
Display group titles: true
Layout Direction: Vertical
Horizontal Space: 50
Vertical Space: 50
Max Per Row/Column: 10
Reverse layer...: false
Sequentially...: false
Gather symbols...: false
Remove unused...: false

When I updated the configuration and hit OK, it acts like it's suppose to. When I 'Run Symbol Organizer', that's when the overlap happens. See the attached screenshot for more details.

Can anyone else confirm this is happening to them?

Artboard manager has this feature where it just reorders the artboards when you drag and drop them.

It would be great if Symbol Organizer would do so we don't need to press the shortcut :).

The plugins' manifest has the following events registered, together with their handlers:

"handlers": {
        "actions": {
          "ArtboardChanged.finish": "ArtboardChanged",
          "LayersMoved.finish": "LayersMoved",
          "Duplicate.finish": "Duplicate",
          "HandlerLostFocus": "Resize",
          "ResizeArtboardToFit": "ResizeArtboardToFit",
          "InsertArtboard.finish": "InsertArtboard"
        }
      }

Every time I run the organizer plugin, it just deletes all my symbols...I'm on Sketch 45.2

Since last major Sketch update (I believe it is 46) plugin does not work anymore. Once executed it removes all symbols.

I just updated to Sketch 45.1 and Craft 1.0.35. Is there a conflict with these updates maybe? When I run the Symbol Organizer my symbols disappear.

After using the plugin, all artboards disappear... Can anyone else recreate?

Mac OS 10.12.5

create an artboard and select it and create a “Artboard Symbol” ...
This creates the symbol but still keeps the artboard where it was but its name becomes purple so that it marks - it's a symbol kind of. Changes on this purple artboard will apply to the instances directly.

anyway, when I now select “remove unused” it will remove those artboards for some reason - that's not so cool because they are for sure “used” if they are lying on my stage.

please can you fix this?
many thanks

Just install this just a few seconds ago ...

👌

Any chance there is a way to gather all symbols and group them on a page besides the Symbols page? I'd love to apply the layout possibilities with this plugin to quickly create a stickersheet/component list.

When using this in Sketch 45, all symbols are deleted from Sketch and breaks the document

that is a very smart way to solve duplicate symbols ... https://github.com/oodesign/merge-duplicate-symbols probably a nice thing for inspiration

Thanks for the plugin, really helpful for creating a UI Kit.

Would it be possible to display Section Headers for the groups, or is that something that Sketch would need to implement?

I sometimes do split my symbols page in multiple "normal" pages based on groups. Currently, the plugin seems to organize only the "master" symbols page. Would be nice to organize other pages as well.

In my case, doesn't show a UI at all.

Sketch version 45 (43475)

When I run plugin it removes all symbols & artboards from a Symbols page.

have a look at the attached Sketch file where there is only one Symbol on the page with one nested symbol ... still the “deleting unused symbols” doesn't work ... that issue is there since the last update I think .. please can you check? Thanks

symbol organiser issue.sketch.zip

Just upgraded to Sketch 45 and the plugin now removes all symbols and artboards instead of organizing them. The dialog appears fine when I run the plugin, but when I hit OK all symbols are removed from the Symbols page.

Apple is now only distributing SF Pro (Text and Display). It's a name only change, but you can no longer download SF UI.

Hi! Your plugin is amazing- thank you so much!
I use it on all my studio projects now & always have the same preferences for how I want my symbols to be organized. Would save a lot of time if the dialogue box was pre-filled to last use preferences, i.e vertical with X paddings, yes show group titles etc.
Thanks!

When running the organiser on the latest sketch release, sketch loads continuously and isn't responding.

Are you aware of the issue? We've become really reliant on this great plugin as part of our design process, it would be a shame not to be able to use it.

Thanks,

Amazing plugin, made it so much more enjoyable and easy to manage large numbers of symbols!!
Sometime it's would be really useful to choose only a subset of symbols to organize.
Would it be possible to ad a checkbox for only sorting selected symbols?

First: Thanks for making this addon, it makes my day so much better.

Would it be possible to create a sibling addon that organizes artboards on the current page in the same fashion Symbol Organizer does with Symbols?

This is really useful 👍! Would be nice if it could save the settings. Then you can quickly reorganise symbols after adding or deleting some. I prefer A-Z, horizontal and different spacing.

Hi!

This is not really a problem but more like a supplication ;)

When I convert my UX to UI in a different file, it happens that I've got duplicate symbols.
I love your plugin, I use it a lot, combined with Rename Instances to find the duplicate symbols in all my artboards.

But in the layers name there's a lot of "1" or "2", so if you add special character to the sequence of duplicated symbols (for example "#") then it will be a lot easier to find the symbols using the search field in the layer panel.

Thanks

Configuring Symbol Organizer or running a Sort will remove all symbols from the Symbols page. This just started happening with 45.2.

currently there is the issue that the plugin removes also symbols which ARE actually used. If I create several icons and create symbols of them #A #B #C. Then create a layout with symbols #A and #B included and create a symbol with nested symbols. Then I would use the sketch inspector and replace the icon #B with #C = The removing “unused” will now remove the #C but actually it is used atm. Please can you add some checking whether a symbol is used by nested-replaced-functionality of sketch? would be so great, thanks!

Many thanks for this plugin!

To aid with the symbol de-duping process, it would be helpful to visually tag duplicate symbols to see where they are being used across the document. I understand that one of the duplicates may actually be the preferred version, but it would be easy to manually move this visual tag from one symbol to the adjacent duplicate.

I'd also recommend changing the name of the duplicated symbol to something more unique so that you can filter them out in the lower left Sketch pane. Searching for 'Copy x' gives results of Sketch's 'Rename duplicated layers' preference. You can command-select items in the filtered list and quickly replace them with the preferred version.

I'm not a developer, but with a bunch of trial and error I got this to work in version 11.4 with Sketch Beta 46 (44420). Replacing line 180 in ~/Library/Application Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugins/Symbol Organizer.sketchplugin/Contents/Sketch/functions.js with the code below achieves both:

symbol.setName(thisSymbolName + " DUPLICATE " + duplicateSymbolCount);
var rectShape = MSRectangleShape.alloc().init();
rectShape.frame = MSRect.rectWithRect(NSMakeRect(0, 0, symbol.frame().width(), symbol.frame().height()));
rectLayer = [MSShapeGroup shapeWithPath: rectShape];
rectLayer.name  = '*** DUPLICATE SYMBOL ***';
rectLayer.style().addStylePartOfType(0);
rectLayer.style().fills().firstObject().color = MSColor.colorWithRed_green_blue_alpha(255/255,0/255,0/255,0.6);
symbol.addLayers([rectLayer]);

In the configuration pane, the preference could indicate that duplicates will be visually tagged, or a new preference could be added to separate the renaming from the visual tagging.

If a duplicate is found, the plugin could also test the dimensions of each and indicate a change in the symbol name — i.e. LayerName DUPLICATE 1 (check dimensions). Then the user is informed that they may need to go back and clean up their layout while they are replacing symbols.

I see that you've had some thoughts about this in issue #7, and maybe this could be the next step and elaborated on later.

Cheers.

While using Sketch 46.1, Run and organize options are both non responsive.

sometimes sketch creates duplicates of symbols in the library ... this usually happens when you copy-paste from different files. So my idea for your plugin is to somehow merge those duplicates in the library smartly so that in the library there would be NO same-named symbols ... or at least it would rename the “same-named” symbols and give them a number at the end of the name. thanks!

proposals would be:
A.
checkbox “clean symbol names” (description: same-named symbols will be renamed logically)

B.
checkbox “remove same-named-symbols” (identical and same-named symbols will be merged to one and also linked properly in the layout)

Would be really convenient if the plugin would automatically jump to the symbols page from any other page opened when running

thanks in advance

It would be awesome if you could add the ability to limit how many rows/columns the organizer creates. Like, similar to how you're allowing a "max per row/column", maybe you could create a similar function to limit how many rows/columns the plugin creates before having to move down/right an create another row/column?

Heads-up: Checking remove unused symbols in the dialogue causes the plugin to not work. Unchecking it, the plugin and its other functions appear to work.

Thanks for a great plugin but currently i can't organize pages that contains both artboards and symbols. Symbol Organizer can only be used on pages with just symbols so this is really annoying because i always need to have a large artboard with all the symbols to export to zepplin so that developers have all the symbols in one place. There's something you can do about this? the older versions worked great.

Thanks again.

Great plugin!

Is it correct, that it only supports folder levels up to 4 levels deep? If I manually add another "label/" in the granularity field, it seems to ignore it?

Hi there!

This is a quick note to remind you that Sketch 45 will include a plugin update system.

It would be awesome if you could add support to it (it's really easy!) before Sketch 45 comes out. Ideally, you should release an update for your plugin while we're still in Sketch 44, so your users will have a nice & easy experience when 45 is released.

Thanks in advance!
