It seems that the issue you're experiencing with clipping masks and the [folder]
tag in PSD imports is known. Currently, the Spine PSD importer requires that layers involved in clipping masks be contained within a [merge]
group to be processed correctly. This means that if you have layers with clipping masks, you should place them in a group with [merge]
in the name to ensure they are merged and imported correctly.
Here's a step-by-step solution:
- Group Layers with Clipping Masks: Place all layers that use clipping masks into a group.
- Add
[merge]
Tag: Rename the group to include [merge]
in its name. This will ensure that the layers are merged into a single PNG file.
- Use
[folder]
Tag: Ensure that the parent group or the relevant group has the [folder]
tag to place the merged PNG into the correct folder.
For example:
- [folder:MyFolder]
- [merge] ClippingGroup
- BaseLayer
- ClippingMaskLayer
This setup will ensure that the ClippingGroup
is merged into a single PNG and placed inside MyFolder
.
If you follow these steps and still encounter issues, it might be a good idea to double-check the layer organization and tags in your PSD file. If the problem persists, it could be a bug or a limitation that might need further investigation.
