- Validate Names
  layer names are checked, and the following logic to rename it.
  - Replaces multiple whitespace characters with underscores.
  - Romanizes the string.
  - Removes any non-alphanumeric characters, replacing them with underscores.
  - Truncates the string to a maximum length of 16 characters.
  - Prefixes an underscore to numeric strings.
```
function validate (str){
  let test = str.replace(/\s+/g, '_')
  test = r.romanize(test);
  test = test.replace(/[^A-Z a-z0-9]/ , '_')
  test = test.slice(0, 16)
  test = isNaN(test)?test:"_" + test
  ...
```
- Export Code
  it publishes .lua of each layer. updated files are in App/book/components/page/layers folder.
  class attributes in page/index.lua are merged(preserved) but if you add manually a layer entry in index.lua, it will be lost.
- Export Images
  - (option) holding Shift key, it will only publish images of selected layers in active document
- Layer Groups
  The default behavior is that Layer group is published as one merged png, if you want to have each image of members of a layer group, use Unmerge.
  - Unmerge
    select a layer group in Layer panel, and click Unmerge button. It will create a folder with the same name in App/book/assets/images/book folder. This means each image of membes of a layer group available when you publish.
  - Cancel
    Unmerge is cancelled.
  - Refresh
    when you manually create foldes in App/book/assets/images/page folder. You can use Refresh button to see those folder’s names, and you can manuplate ( delete them ) with Cancel button.

 //checks for group positioning (layer name will start with -)  OR layers to not be rendered (also starts with -)
    if (myLName.substr(0,1) == "-") {
      pageRenders._renderGroupHyphen(myLName, i, sel, myi, tabLayers, String(model.docNum), backLayer);

pageRenders/groupHyphen.jsx outputs the meta info comic page from layer group
