Description Aleksandar Toshovski CLA 2015-03-03 05:43:50 EST
In order to use the models in our documentation, we need to reference them as an image. It would be great to be able to export images for every representations in the model, when the document get saved.

There is a manual command "Export representations as images", but the developers forget to generate them.

Indeed that could be interesting and quite easy to implement. 
I would go like this :
- introduce an EAnnotation,properties file or a dedicated model to keep track of the fact that diagrams should be automatically exported, the output folder, the image format...
- plug-in a listener which reacts on "Save" events to trigger the export.

This needs to be an "opt-in feature" with zero impact on peoples not using it as this export can take precious seconds.
