Text variable fields: document name without suffix

[postmadesign]

I would like to add a field to my document that is the same as the filename. I use this option in indesign a lot, but in affinity publisher, the filename always includes the suffix, which is not useful. Can you add an option to turn this off? Thanks!

Why don't you use title from the Document Info?

Ah, cool, this did not seem to work before, now it does! Thanks a lot!

Be aware that if you Save As... "Something Else" from "Something" for instance the tittle will remain "Something"

That is good to know. This would mean a filename without suffix would still be the preferred option.

By the way: there does not seem to be a "save copy" in APub? I use this option quite a bit in ID, I don't see why it is missing?

A slightly foolish choice on Serif/Affinity's part, now we have to do Save (to save our most recent edits) then Save As... (to make a back-up) close that and then open the original.

It seems this could easily be added though?
