Disable File Name Prefix Auto-Fill in Export Artboards to Files

[jjjnyt]

File Name Prefix is automatically filled in this process, how do I disable this feature?

Other than rewriting the script, there is no way to do this in the UI. You can write over the existing name but there's no way to make it come up blank.

Make a backup of the "ArtboardExport.inc" file in the application's Presets/Scripts folder so that you can easily recover it.

Here are examples of code lines 502-503, where the "File Name Prefix" is populated:

  // File Name prefix.
  dlgMain.etFileNamePrefix = dlgMain.grpTopLeft.add('edittext', undefined, exportInfo.fileNamePrefix.toString())

Change line 503 to:

  dlgMain.etFileNamePrefix = dlgMain.grpTopLeft.add("edittext", undefined, "");
