Awesome plugin! But it wraps the artboards inside the symbols which is hard to work with 😢 #31

Love this plugin, super helpful! There are two issues that could do with adjustment if you're still maintaining the plugin:

  1. Using this plugin sends symbols to a 'Symbols' page, even if the user has deleted the original symbols page. It would be great if there is no symbols page, that the symbols just replace the selected artboards, not create a new symbols page. (reason: I create Sketch libraries, and so I use the files for hundreds of components. I no longer use the 'Symbols page' but use pages to define the categories of components).

  2. Batch converting to symbols wraps the artboards inside a symbol. Because each symbol still contains an artboard, you cannot select content across multiple symbols. This is frustrating when trying to change certain attributes (border colour or overll dimensions) across multiple symbols. Please remove the artboard :)

I have a screen recording to demonstrate the examples, but can't upload it here, let me know if you'd like me to send it directly.

Thanks again for the time put into this plugin, I hope to see these updates in future! 🔥🚀

Hey Luciea, I was also running into the issue of getting artboards wrapped inside the symbols, which made it impossible to adjust content on resize. I was able to solve the issue by switching to the Automate-Sketch Plugin instead. It comes with the option Symbol > Convert Artboards to Symbols, which does exactly what I want it to do. No more nested artboards 🎉
