As of 1.2.7, the console commands I used to export my graphics en masse have stopped working. They show no error, they just do nothing.

Example command:

C:“Program Files (x86)”\Steam\steamapps\common\Aseprite\aseprite -b --layer=Shield C:\dev\games\stones\assets\images\equipment\roundshield\equipped.ase --save-as C:\dev\games\stones\assets\images\equipment\roundshield\parts\Shield\001.png

For now I’ve reverted to the 1.2 beta branch on Steam, where this still works.

@Virtz please check Aseprite v1.2.7.2, it should have this issue fixed.
