GUI to process multiple files with SVGnest (for specific usecase)

SVGnest batch

About

This script uses the svg nesting library SVGnest by the awesome Jack Qiao. You can drag and drop files to process multiple files after each other. Handy when you have to process multiple files (with the same settings).

DISCLAIMER: This script was written for a very specific use case, so you might have to adapt things for your needs 😞

How to run

1. Download everything
2. Serve using a localhost (otherwise it will not work, because SVGnest is using a webworker)
3. Done.

Note: If you don't know how to set up a localhost, use an extension like Web Server for Chrome.

How to use

Drag and drop an .svg file into the window (multiple also work). After being processed, they will be saved into your downloads folder.

Limitation 1: The .svg has to contain the bin (where other elements are packed into) and be tagged by a class named 'bin'.

Limitation 2: Settings are hardcoded into the index.html file. Change these to change settings.

Limitation 3: Supports only 1 iteration for now.

Limitation 4: The exported files will have numbers counting upwards (e.g. 001, 002, etc.), but every second file will have an m added to it (I mentioned it before—very specific use case ...).
