Export-Preset adds its name to the exported filename in case file already exists -> why?

[Sven347837590nk9]

Export-Preset adds its name to the exported filename - why?

I have the following export settings: 

-> skip existing file 

and

--> do not rename, hence use the original filename but add jpg

This user export preset is called "Export as PDF for Server"  

When I use this preset (the first or multiple times) when there are no files with identical names, the export works as intended. 

--> However, when I use this export a second time or when there are already files with identical filename, then the exsting files are not skipped but new files are exported with the name of the export preset attached to the filename. 

Why does this export preset not follow the instructions? (to not rename and to skip existing files?)

Thanks

That User Preset "Export as PDF for Server" where does it come from? Or is it one you created?

[Sven347837590nk9]

yes, I created this by clicking the button "hinzufügen". 

I want to add, that the export works perfectly normal if I don't use the preset but just use the settings as mentioned above. As soon as I use the preset, this adds the preset name to the filename, although its defined not to alter the filename. 

I guess you can easily recreate this szenario at your side

Then file rename may be a line in the preset, that is not showing up in the export dialog when you select it. It may override whatever is in the export dialog.

You can right click on that preset and select show in explorer, and then you can look at it in notepad (it is apparently a text file), their might be a line like:

tokens = "{{image_name}}_something or the other (I just made that up)

Also, you could select the file rename you want (with that preset not selected) Select but not check it, or just hover over it, right click on it and select update with current settings.

these are the lines within the preset template: 

tokenCustomString = "",
tokens = "{{image_name}}",
tokensArchivedToString2 = "{{image_name}}_export",

I don't see a command to add the templates name? 

Moreover there is an option explizitly defining to skip the file and not to give a unique name: 

internalName = "Export as JPG for Server",
title = "Export as JPG for Server",
type = "Export",
value = {
collisionHandling = "skip",

--> so, I am still conwinsed that this is a bug. 

Please add this to the "fix-me" list. 

Attached is the full template for your interest. 

Thanks

Hey @Sven347837590nk9!

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been trying to reproduce the issue but haven't had any luck so far. Could you let me know which version of Lightroom Classic and Operating System you're using?

Appreciate it!
Alek

Hello Alek

Thanks for trying. I just did an example myself. Created a new catalog, added 9 dng pictures. 

Copied the above export to the user preset and exported a first time - result all good. 

Then a second time and the douplicated are created although the preset clearly states to skip existing pictures. 

Please consider screenshots attached. 

Thanks 

[Sven347837590nk9]

Hi @Sven347837590nk9! Thanks for the screenshots, explanations, and system info. I was now able to reproduce the issue on my end with the same result as yours. I'll flag this to the rest of the team so the devs can take a look. I will keep you updated if I have any news. Thanks!
