Sketch unlinker plugin

Sketch Unlinker

Sketch plugin that lets you unlink selected layers and groups from either shared symbols, styles or text styles, en masse.

Requirements

Sketch 3.3

Installation

• Download the zip file.
• Unzip the contents and double click the Sketch-Unlinker.sketchplugin bundle to install.

Upgrade from previous version

• Open Sketch.
• From the Menu bar, select Plugins -> Reveal Plugins Folder...
• Delete the old Sketch-Unlinker.sketchplugin bundle.
• Install the new bundle as described in the Installation section.

Usage

• Select one or more artboards, layers or groups.
• From the Menu bar, select Plugins -> Unlink symbols and styles (or press ⌥⌘U).
• Choose what you want to unlink.
• Optionally, check the box "Include elements inside groups". Without this, none of the layers inside a group will be modified if the group itself is selected.
• Press Unlink.

Crashed 3.4

Doesn't unlink styles and crashed sketch.

Such a useful plugin. Any chance of an update?

Not working in 3.4.4

When selecting any items (folder, text, symbols) either in groups or directly, the plugin doesn't appear to do anything.

Sketch 3.4.4
OS X 10.11.12

Not working in 40.3

As most Sketch users are on the latest rev and BI stupidly keep breaking backwards compatibility. Would really like to see this work as its so useful. thanks.

5 or more unlinkings miss the last one

When 5 or more selected items are unlinked, the plugin does n-1 and needs to be run again to unlink all selected items.

Fails to detach symbols in Sketch 3.7

With the major update to symbols, this plugin no longer works.

Extremely slow, causing Sketch to hang

First of all, this plugin is exactly what I wanted, so kudos. :)

Unfortunately, it's been extremely slow for me, even on groups with just a few dozen layers. It beachballs and I end up having to force quit. Even when only a handful of symbols were selected, it's taking 5+ minutes for me (but it does ultimately finish).

Any idea what's going on?

Support Sketch 45 plugin update system

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.

For more details, please check http://sketchplugins.com/d/229-updating-plugins and http://developer.sketchapp.com/introduction/updating-plugins/

Thanks in advance!
