Bring back the old export dialogue - new one doesn't show filenames

The new export dialogue (When you click 'Location' in the Export setting) only allows you to select a destination folder. You have to manually enter a filename. This is garbage and wastes time.

Example: I render out videos all day. Usually amended versions of previous videos, therefor overwriting files. What was a 2 second 'click render - save dialogue pops up - select old video file - click 'overwrite' process, has now become a guessing game. I can't remember the EXACT file name of all the projects I work on. So I end up having to just make junk names ("videoname_version2.mov"), save them in the same folder as the file I want to overwrite then go back and change later. Or manually copy the filename from the folder and paste into Premiere's stupid new Export settings window.

Why is this the only software that you can't view files in a window? Insane. I lose about 2 minutes every time I export something. Thats about 80 minutes per week that I'm now just managing files

    The problem is the export tab takes a long time to load, and it screws up all the default settings and export locations before sending to encoder.  That is really the biggest problem here.   The new export dialogue/tab is causing slower load times and making work every single time an export is needed.   It's quite rediculous.   The fact the dev team couldn't see this is a testiment to their detatchment from actual users of the program.   Let alone releasing it before it is done as you mentioned in the other thread that interface changes 'take time'.

    In the export tab there is a big button right bottom corner: send to Media Encoder.

    The beta has a shortcut for this.

    How do you do this?  ctrl+M just sends it to the nasty and impossible export tab in premiere.  I just want it to work smooth like it used to.   You've seriously destoyed the app and interface.

    If you send your timeline to MediaEncoder you get the old fashioned setup.
