    Hello! I have another question-
    I made made a character in photoshop and separated the body into pieces, made clothes (pants,shirts,jackets etc) and also separated them to fit each part and make it able to move with joints.
    now my only problem is that I'm trying to use photoshop script to make all parts organized in spine without moving things around but I don't understand how should I combine separated parts into one skin? for example: I have left sleeve, right sleeve and shirt torso , all parts are separated and organized in photoshop above each body part. now i want to make these 3 pieces a one skin which is the shirt . should I make each part a [skin] ? or should i but the three parts in a group and name the group[skin]? if i do that how can i make sure that the hierarchy is right?
    please let me know !

    You can use the [skin] tag like the screenshot below:

    You can specify the skin name by writing the tag like [skin:name]. By writing this way, layers that have the same skin name tags will belong to the same skin after importing into Spine, even if the layer order is far apart. In the example above, R_Shirt_Forearm_01,R_Shirt_Forearm_02,Shirt_Torso_09, and Shirt_Torso_10 will belong to the Shirt skin.

    In the above case, the exported result will be like this:

    The [skin:name] tag will make a folder that is named the skin name. So if there is a layer group that has the [folder] tag under the layer group that has the [skin:name] tag, the folder will be created under the skin name folder.

    You are using a lot of [folder:name] tags, but if you just want to group images for each skin, you may want to use only the [skin:name] tag instead of the [folder:name].

    Thank you so much! It really helped me alot 🙂
    but may I ask one more thing? If I have multiple different clothes category and each clothes will have multiple skins , will it work if I do it inside a folder?
    for example: [folder:Jackets] > [skin:Jacket_01],[skin:Jacket_02]> [[every jacket part in their folder]] ?
    then should i be able to see both skins on the same attachment?

    If you want to have the resulting same skin placeholder, the name of the part needs to be the same, which is allowed thanks to the skins tag.
    So, instead of calling [merge] Shirt_Torso_10 the level of the item itself, you have to call each item in a skin that you want to use the same skin placeholder and be active when that skin placeholder is supposed to be active as [merge] Shirt_Torso.
    Test it out 😃 it will work!

    I tried that but got an error for using the same name for each file , should i use [ignore] ?

    First the tags are removed, so your layers will be named /Onepiece_Torso. Starting the name with a slash will ignore any folder tags. You don't need a slash between tags. You can use nothing or a space. Also I suggest putting the tags at the end: Onepiece_Torso [skin:Onepiece_Torso][merge]. That way you don't have to read past the tags to see the name.

    I think your problem is you have many layers for the same skin. The same name is what you want, so they go in the same skin placeholder, but they need to be in different skins, eg the layers:

    Onepiece_Torso [skin:skin1][merge]
Onepiece_Torso [skin:skin2][merge]
Onepiece_Torso [skin:skin3][merge]

    That will results in the files:

    skin1/Onepiece_Torso.png
skin2/Onepiece_Torso.png
skin3/Onepiece_Torso.png

    In Spine there will be a skin placeholder named Onepiece_Torso and the region attachment for it will depend on which of the 3 skins is active.
