New Export Panel File name issue

[Richard M Knight]

There doesn't seem to be a way to see the name of already saved files using the new Export Panel.

I save a file and give it a version number, say Test V5, when I want to save the next version I used to be able Click on the test V5 file and change it to V6 I can't see how to do this now.

This is standard Windows file management.

This is the export for Premiere 2021

Thanks, Richard. The problem sounds like a bug. I think there is already one up on User Voice, new issues. I'll see if I can get a link for us to upvote.

Dear Kevin

Did you find a Link? I Have the exact same problem on mac os, and it looks like the new interface is launching a different "version" of the finder-selection-window, which doesn't allow the selection of another file, but just of the destination folder.

Because the problem apparently occurs on mac os and windows, for me, it doesn't seem like a bug but like a weird design choice because of some other advantage of that different selection process, which I personally can't grasp.

I would be very content if you could relay that problem accordingly, because that makes the day-to-day with premiere frustrating if you have to export many changes and/or different frame-format versions like 16-9, 9-16 and 4-5. I had a project recently where 60 exports were needed, and I certainly don't want to rename the clips or copy and paste the names accordingly every single time.

Thank you and best,

Damian

Hello Kevin.  I have to agree with Richard and Damian.  This is a real issue for me as well.  Especially when exporting mixes where I'm changing one small detail in a rather long file name.  It also complicates overwriting an export when I find a mistake in my render and just want to quickly fix it and replace the file.  Often I have lengthy file names that include ISCI codes and being able to click on the file I want to overwrite in the export window and simply replace it is common practice in my workflow.

As Damian mentions, it appears to be a design choice and not a bug.  

Thank you for the help Kevin!   Chris.

This needs to be fixed asap.  I name new exports by finding my old versions and clicking on them, then giving them a new version number.  Not being able to see any of my files is a huge pain.  This seems like a massive design oversight.   It's like the update was designed for a robot and not a user.

Agree, this is horrible. Please fix.

FYI, I'm having the issue with a Mac so it's not only Windows.

Same problem here. Please fix! It slows down the entire process when I just want to add a new version number to end of my naming convention.

This has been acknowledged since it started ... and they have promised it will change. There's a public beta build that has at least some of this brought back, so ... hopefully in not too long! ... we'll see this fixed in the shipping version.
