Fixed css and js filenames
When you use a custom export name like, “Index.php” and using external option the external CSS file might be named index_php.css. This fixes it so the name is index.css.

Added File List tokens
There are some cases where you want to have a list of all files exported. For example, Progressive Web Apps require you to list files that you want cached. You can use the tokens to get a list

Use and in the HTML template.

The first token list is a list of names separated by commas, the second is a list of names with quotes around them separated by commas.

Scale to Fit not showing
Some users are not seeing the Scale dropdown list. This is a fix for that.

More Images Support

Disable 2x image export
By default double sized images are exported when exporting. These provide a sharper image for mobile visitors and on some hi-dpi screens. You can turn this option off on a per image basis in the element options or on an artboard basis. If you set the artboard option it overrules any element options at this time.

Embed Images
You can now embed images inline using a data URI base64 encoding. That means the image is encoded into the HTML markup. There is no external image created. This option is in the element options and can be set on the entire artboard. The artboard option overrules any specific image options at this time.

It also comes with a color limit option that limits the number of colors in the image. This reduces the size of the embedded images. Check the export messages for the embedded images sizes or check the HTML page size.

Set an Image folder
If you have a lot of images it can clutter up the export directory. You can now add a export folder for images.

Set an image prefix path
If you upload your page to a server and that page is not on the root directory image source paths can break. Using this option you can set the sub directory that the images are part of and that value will be added to before the image path.
