Export layers to files - How to set 'File Name Prefix' empty by default?

[TrimMark]

When using 'Export layers to files' I would realy like 'File Name Prefix' to be empty by defaut.
Can anyone please tell me what to change in the script to have this box NOT containing the current file name by default?

EDIT: My first post was not clear. I also wanted to get rid of the leading sequential numbers.
Thank you!

Change the line 579 beginning with 

dlgMain.etFileNamePrefix = ...

to this:

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

Thank you for your help.
Now there is a other prefix that I cant turn off: '_000x'

Has there been any update about this? I'm still expiriencing the number sequences. How do you change a script as you're suggesting?

No, the Adobe script remains unchanged.

Apart from the edits suggested earlier in this topic thread, there

are numerous custom layer saving scripts and generic alternatives such as:

Depending on your needs, you can also select layers in the layers panel and then contextual right-click and Export As.

Annyone, please?
It's annoying to have to rename the exported files.

I want the exported files to have the name of the layer, no prefixes.

Just to be crystal clear, are you referring to the sequential numbers that are added, even if the prefix field is left blank:

Layer Names:

Layer 0

Layer 1

Exported File Names:

_0000_Layer 0.jpg

_0001_Layer 1.jpg

They are there as a safety to stop overwriting an existing file if there are multiple layers with the same name. I'm sure that the script could be modified, these Adobe default scripts are very complicated.

EDIT: If all you want is the layer name, then try changing the following as per the annotated screenshot and restart Photoshop:

This has no effect on the GUI, all it does is change the output filename.

I don't use the beta.

Are you on Mac or Win? 

There should be 2,645 lines of code for "Export Layers to Files.jsx" that ships with the public 2024 version, with the last two lines blank @@@BUILDINFO@@@ Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.22
