Balsamiq recursively generates .pngs for all mockups in a directory.
It would help me out considerably if I could run Balsamiq against a directory recursively and have it generate the .pngs of all the mockups I have stored there.
I currently have 35 mockups which are all changing on a daily basis, and I anticipate I'll have around 100 in the next couple weeks.
Before a meeting, I print out paper copies of everything. I'm willing to accept the burden of printing them in separate software in the spirit of keeping Balsamiq simple, but this step would save me a lot of clicking, and more importantly, help me feel more confident I have exported all of the mockups.
I would also like to add that I am very satisfied with Balsamiq. It's simplicity is a real productivity enhancement. Thank you for building it, and I wish you great success.

Inappropriate?Hi there. Thanks for the kind words and for the feedback. You can now export Mockups from the command line: http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/?p=231 - so to achieve what you want you could simply write a batch file to loop through your directory of choice and export images that way. How to write the script depends on your operating system, but it should be fairly easy.
Another feature which is somewhat related is this one, which is coming soon: http://getsatisfaction.com/balsamiq/t... - this would allow you to export all of the open mockups as PNG at once. You'd still have to open all mockups first, but with the latest BMML change that's pretty quick: http://www.balsamiq.com/blog/?p=278 - look at the video.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?That certainly addresses my issue. I almost added that a command-line option would be a great tide over. Thanks for the near instant reply!
I'm looking forward to the BMML feature as well. You are right, it is definitely related. Thanks for the blog and videos.
I’m pleased
