Asset/Object export needs more options
I wanted to export multiple assets/objects with their artboard position and quickly realized they will get cropped and there isn't an option to change that.
The possible naming is also quite limited. Every professional program should have wildcards for naming files.
It boils down to missing batch features. I found a developer who gave it a try once (TomByrne IllustratorSmartExport). That's everything the batch export could and should be and it should be an official inspiration for how the export in Illustrator should look/feel like. Unfortunately it's not longer under development and the core functionality is broken. Still it's a good example where Illustrator should turn it's head to.

Please tell more (as if the IllustratorSmartExport never existed for the team to look upon).
Share some screenshots and examples of the wildcards you’d like to have.
Speaking about cropping — I assume that artboards behind assets are smaller than objects themselves? and Ai gives no way to 'hug' the objects, but from chosen sides (like right and bottom only)? or do I get it wrong?
