Exporting as jpeg with use artboards adds to file name

[Gex14286]

When I export from Illustrator CS5 with "Use Artboards" checked it adds a "-01" to the end of my file name before the extention. I'm assuming that its because its artboard #1 or something. It happens with the all or the range button checked. It doesnt show the -01 when you are saving the file name. This is pretty annoying because I have to go back and re name the files when this happens. Any advice? Thanks!

This has not been fixed and is back to how it used to be.

Why is this back to how it used to be??? You all fixed it to where when I export 1 artboard it doesn't put -01 at the end when I export an artboard as as png or jpeg but now it adds that at the end again. Very dissapointed Adobe.

There has been a lengthy discussion going on here for a while from both sides, but mainly from people whose workflow has been negatively impacted by the change, so Adobe changed it back. Meanwhile they're supposedly going to be thinking of ways to satisfy both sides.

Thanks for the update, KM71906... , and for the link to the other discussion.  As you say, that discussion includes comments from people who prefer Adobe file name behavior A and others who prefer behavior B.  However, most of the comments on both sides suggest similar solutions of giving the users a CHOICE, to select the behavior that they prefer.  What a good idea!!!  

Giving each user the opportunity to select their individual, desired preference, has shown up in discussions of this problem for more than ten years.  An Adobe employee has recently commented in this thread, 'The team is going to explore a better and proper way to satisfy both parties on this — carefully this time.'  That is great news.  Please consider implementing the suggestion that many of us have made for the last decade– let every user customize the behavior to fit their individual needs.

That discussion is sooo interesting ... I've been exporting files like crazy since 2021 and that renaming export file problem never showed up ... until this morning! Yesterday it was running smoothly and this morning, all of my exports have the artboard number written automatically. Soooo annoying!!

Please Adobe, let us choose wether we want or not that option. I work hard to get my export files named properly and now, I'll have a number into the name which will mean nothing to the people I send the export files to...

How many artboards are in the file?

How do you export them?

Which version of Illustrator is it?

[Lehouillier]

AI v.27.8, using the regular Export As option (cmd E - see screenshot below of the options).
In that file, there's 12 artboards that I export in 2 batches (1-6 + 7-12).

The job is to take an admat and reformat it in many formats used for web and screens. I've been doing this over and over (more then 3k different formats over the last year), using always the same method. And on that specific file, the system added the number of the artboards at the end of each file exported.

The software did not update lately as I'm doing it manually. I just don't know why it started doing it. Oh yeah, and it did it only for that specific task of a specific design. I just did the same task, exporting PNG of another design in another file, and the system did NOT add the number of the artboard at the end.

It seems to have done it randomly, or whatever the reason ...
