Custom presets for Asset Export
When adding in your own custom sizes and suffixes into the Asset Export panel it would be nice to be able to save these out as a preset for later use.
For my job I have to export the same image into 20-30 different sizes with individual names (suffixes) that don't change. That's why I thought it would be good if you could set up all the file sizes and names once then save it out as preset for later use or to even share with a colleague.
It would speed up the workflow for many people if this was a feature.

I would love to be able to save Custom formats for exporting, I work with some developers that require at least 50 different sizes for 1 logo to export, it's a real hassle to go into the export setting > add 50+ scales, select width for each of them (because it always defaults to the next size it has in the dropdown when you add a new scale) > then put in a different size for each of them. And then there are 10+ other logo's that need the same treatment but need different sizes for various reasons. And after that I can remove all those settings!
Outside of exporting logo's and assets for developers, I also need to use the export settings for Marketing related exports, to make quick visuals etc.
So I have a lot of different presets I would want to save. And would also save me tremendous amounts of time.

Agree with custom settings, but mostly, I just want the settings to save to the file and not be a global setting! It would save me so much time.

Yes to saving custom presets AND
Saving presets with each file, not as an application wide "Last Used" setting. -

Agree with Marcel on the make your own path and folder name

Marcel commented
Also the possibility to make your own path and folder name. for example 'xhdpi' instead of '2x'.

For iOS app icons exports, which requires 26 different sizes, it would be a huge time saver. Spread the word, this deserves more upvotes!

Could it be scripted somehow? (I'm not familiar with scripting in Illustrator.) Saving presets would be best, like with print settings.

Agree. I use a specific set for logo work, to export screens and pdf version on the fly. BUT if I want to export something at another settings, OR save all my artboards to PDF (currently only possible under export for screens) I have to delete or change these settings, and then on my next logo project I have to create them all over again. Time and brain memory intensive!
They should by like pdf preset settings, where we can save sets and recall/load them as needed. This would simplify workflow so we are not re-inventing the wheel every time.

Having the ability to save presets would make life easier for sure, seems like a no brainer. I've posted this before on similar posts.

This export feature seems unchanged in v23, certainly there's no sign of a way to save export options with the file or to an external file (please correct me if I'm wrong).
This is a regular painful issue. I get around it by taking screenshots the export panel so I know what options to re-enter next time I come back to that job. Which is pretty lame.
It's great to see new features being added, but it's the less glamorous issues like this which have an impact on everyday workflow. And it's doubly galling that Export for Screens was a shiny new feature which now seems to be abandoned, and that makes it harder to commit to relying on other new features.
I would urge anyone who upvoted this thread to do so on these other threads:
There are other issues with this feature, such as only the first 24 characters of object and file names being visible, and the export path being global rather than saved with the file. I'd be happy to spend a day with Adobe to thrash through these problems and give whatever help I can to get this feature up to scratch, because it's a royal pain in the butt the way it is now.

I second this. The profiles (iOS, Android, custom, etcetera) should be savable so so you can edit them as requirements change.
At the moment of this post there are 10 sizes for iOS and I think 5-7 for Android just for launcher (home screen) icons.

I am baffled that this doesn't have more votes. Does nobody else work on more than one project at a time, or projects with different asset export needs?
Just for our internal brand material I am constantly jumping between different files with different exporting needs. Logos, icons and other properties all have specific custom sets, and having to re-input all the formats, scales and suffixes every time is insanity. I would love just a little [+] button that adds my list of formats to a dropdown, so I can bring them back up again later.
Seems like a simple feature to implement, so fingers crossed!

Please allow settings to saved for each file. I truly don't understand why this isn't the default.

Even if you're on the same device, it only remembers the LAST settings you used, not file-related settings. It means I constantly save with wrong file name to wrong folder.
