This looks really promising and very handy! Easy to use, does what it says (sort of), saves a significant amount of clicking around.

However, since you’re suggesting people pay for this, I’m going to give you some tough love, the way I would any vendor.

When I exported an image to PNG, there was an exported file but I also got this message:

image
image804Ă—333 13.8 KB

I got the same “PNG image message / Operation not supported” when I exported as WEBP, which makes n it forces the user to scroll down to reach action buttons (Export all etc). Theo sense.

You need better exception handling. The user shouldn’t see this traceback when they forget to choose a preset:

You need to think through all failure points and generate helpful messages whenever the fail is user error. For other errors, you need to provide appropriate messaging - if an error is fatal, say so, if it’s not, say so.

You must not force an icon into people’s menus - it’s not polite (dealbreaker for me):

The main dialog is too wide and tall. It forces the user to scroll down to reach action buttons (Export all etc). The default preset list is too tall with lots of empty space. Instead you need to reduce that preset list height and make it scrollable:

Also there’s a lot of wasted space over on the right side of the dialog. I assume it’s because the action buttons (invisible in that screenshot) force the right margin over. That’s not necessary.

You need tooltips on all fields and controls. Most are obvious, but some like “Preview cards” are not - I don’t know what that refers to.

Many many thanks for the feedback, I will try to fix thse issues

You’re very welcome! Like I said at the beginning of my reply, it looks like a really helpful plug-in. I’d use it for generating my blog post featured images, among other things.
