Feature Request: Rename grouped objects in XD to retain custom export jpg names by element

I'd love to be able to rename grouped objects so when I go to File > Export Selected the jpgs are named what I want them to be.

More detail: We do regular updates to some but not all website elements, I'd love to be able to rename an asset group I plan to select then export as jpg or png. these get exported as things like "Group 35.jpg" by default, and if I select one object at a time it lets me manually rename the exported file name in the mac menu command, however if I select say 8 objects to export at once I can't rename them. I have a file I use as template and it would save so much time If I could right click and set a group name for the group, which stuck when exporting. Sometimes I export 30 objects at once for the mobile and desktop design and uploading is a chore when they aren't named right, and renaming in finder is just another step adding time to things. 

Plus custom keyboard shortcuts pleeeeeasssee. And ability to snap text box to cap height or X height like you can in Text box options in InDesign.

    While that would be helpful. Adobe XD is in maintance mode and no new features will be added.

    Oh interesting, what does that mean for XD? Are they phasing it out and replacing it with something else?

    The product is dead and there is no plans to replace it. Adobe tried to buy Figma, but that purchase was blocked by regulators. XD has been"dead" for about two years. There is that notice on the start screen that outlines what Adobe's plan is for XD.
