Scene name on export file name

Hi,
may be useful if the name of the file being exported also automatically contains the name of the scene, instead of just the name of the model file

Seconded. It’s generally a good idea to include MORE information in a filename, rather than LESS.

If you have 1000 files like Image001.jpg, Image002.jpg, etc, it’s a nightmare.

If you have files like:

Jones Project - 1st Floor Plan - Isometric.jpg
Kelly House - Light Plan - With Dimensions.jpg

it carries a lot more information.

It would be nice to have a sub-system like some image processing programs have, with flexible options for naming files - you set it the way YOU want it, and it follows the pattern:

So you could, for example, say “Export all scenes as PNG, without any background or sky, name them according to the structure ‘Project_Name - Scene_Name - Date - Time.png’, and put them into a subfolder under this project”.

This would save millions of people millions of hours…

You can export the scenes as individual JPG or PNG or TIFF files using File Menu → Export → Animation.

Set scene delay to 0, set scenes transition to off, set frame rate to 1.

With 4 scenes, for example, you get 4 files bearing the name of the file followed by 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004. Of course, the file have a date and time of creation.

Search Google with exporting individual pictures from sketchup scenes. I did and got 3 hits showing YouTube videos on that subject.
