Hey Stephen,
the maximum length of layer names for the inline editor will be increased to 255 characters (from 64). In the meantime, you can try creating a new layer (Command-Shift-N) or duplicate an existing one to get an editor that allows you to use up to 255 characters already. Another workaround is to create a group with just one child, and use the group's name for more file names to export the layer to. Sorry about that!
Regarding the naming conventions, I already replied in the blog post comments. You could use “glyph – back, 50% glyph-back-arrow.png + glyph-back-arrow@2x.png” as the file name - the “glyph – back" part will be completely ignored.
We totally agree about SVG support, and have done some work on it, but it'll be a while until it is production ready. If you want to check out what's there, you can have a look at Generator configuration files and create a configuration file with the following contents:
{
“generator-assets”: {
“svg-enabled”: true
}
}
But, like I said: don’t expect too much.
Renaming the target folder is an interesting idea. Would you want this as a global setting, per document, or both? We have no concrete plans on offering this right now, but we'll think about. A workaround for now would be to create a symbolic link to the default name - this could even be in a completely different folder.
I agree with the rounded corner situation. If you manage to turn the live shape into a non-live shape (e.g. by moving one corner, confirming the dialog and then moving it back), the corners are actually scaled, but obviously that is cumbersome. We're working on a better option.
Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated!
