Dammit Adobe Illustrator I’m just asking you to export a file at a bunch of resolutions. This sort of operation is called “embarrassingly parallel” for a reason. Just look at these cores just sitting around doing nothing. LOOK AT THEM

Anyone who replies suggesting I write a script with imagemagick and GNU parallel is getting stuffed in a locker

@kjhealy would you be doing tge locker stuffing? cuz Im tempted if it means I get to meet you

@kjhealy Kieran, you know they’re reserving CPU space on those cores so you can open a Chrome tab to buy more fonts and another Chrome tab to buy more stock images, and another Chrome tab to have their AI help assistant be ready to aid at any given notice and 12 other Chrome tabs open for various "how to" posts and YT videos for Adobe products.

@kjhealy back in like 2014 i ended up writing a script just like this when i had to export a hundred or so icons from illustrator at 1x, 2x, 3x and it’s definitely not great, imagemagick has its own issues with rasterizing pdfs that get super annoying real fast. absolutely feel your pain here.
