UI feedback

The export names feature is great. It does make a difference on file size if the project is big. However, there is an issue with the UI design related to this.

I am working on a Unity project and I make frequent modifications to the Rive file, export the riv file, then copy it to Unity for testing. I am supposed to click Menu->Export->For runtime. However, so many times my hands are quicker than my brain and I end up clicking Menu->Export options->Export all names. This destroys an hour of work of figuring out what I have to export and what not. Of course I can easily undo it, but sometimes I don't even realize I clicked the wrong option, continue working on the file, until the right undo moment cannot be traced. I ended up giving up on the export names feature and just export everything instead (causing a bigger file size).

I do realize that is partly my own fault. However, I feel that the minimalist UI design is sometimes a bit too minimalist. There should be a proper settings menu somewhere, not put settings in a drop down menu with a similar sounding name.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi We have redesign of the overall Share/Export/Download flow in the works, but I don't expect it will be ready for release for several weeks. In the meantime, you should be able to use the blue "Export" button near the upper-right of the editor to export a .riv in one click.
