gerlos Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hello everyone, I really love Export Persona in Affinity Designer - I work a lot with several image sizes for social networks, so I made up a template with several slices, one for each of my usual "destinations". I've found that I can easily put slice name and sizes in exported image file name, and this helps me a lot when exporting several slices, and it's really great. Do you know if there's a way to put current Affinity Designer file name in the exported image file name? Or, as an alternative, is there a way to set "global" user variables, that I can automatically put in file names when I export slices? thanks in advance, gerlos JuanCDC and HeiligerBimBam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hi Gerlos, There is no user variable you can set for this. If you add the Filename to the name of the slice, when you export that slice you should find the Slice name is used for the Filename of that export.

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand - how do I add the Filename to the name of the slice? As in the screenshot, I can't see any variable that allows me to add the current project file name. In the meantime, I'm adding it manually, as in the attached screenshot, but it's quite annoying do it manually for each slice, when you have 10 or more slices.

bobbybosler Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I also could greatly use this feature. Without it, Export is helpful, but not amazing. HeiligerBimBam and JuanCDC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassivePenguin Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Agreed. This would be super useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubanz Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I would love to see a variable added that you could just add that say File name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mc Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Something like this? Path is probably unnecessary if the saved files are relative to the current project folder. The (only) is to suggest that the specific file extension is omitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
