Export file naming

[pfi]

Suggestion for default file naming for improved workflow:

- for focus merge, panorama, HDR stacking etc.  use the filename of the first image of the sequence and append an appropriate sub-string.  E.g.  <1st-file-name>_fmerge<.jpg>,  <1st-file-name>_stitch<.jpg>, etc

- when exporting an edited image, set the default filename to e.g.  <org-file-name>_af<.jpg>.  If the filename already ends with '_af' append  '1' and increment on each subsequent export for that same image. This saves the time of having to search through the list of images for the first file in the sequence.

- after an export, rename document/image to that of the just exported image

 

(Note: when focus stacking images, the filenames in the 'sources' window have underscore characters removed

Agreed. You could also add simple + and - buttons to the save and export dialogs. On + click the number 1 is added to the filename, but if there is already a number at the end of the filename the number is incremented. If the filename is logo14.png it becomes logo15.png etc. This is an enormous time saver. For reference, see Blender which has exactly this functionality.
