Illustrator is not exporting with the current file name
- Create a document
- Draw a rectangle (just for it to have something inside)
- Save it anywhere as '1.ai'
- Export a, say, TIF, with default settings (these don't really matter) — Ai will offer '1.tif' name for the file exported
- Save this document as '2.ai'
- Export another TIF — Ail will use '1.tif' name, although the file is now '2.ai' This is wrong. Ai should adapt the name from the file actual name and not the original one.

shared this idea
I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.3.0 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

I have the same issue. It happened with the new Illustrator update. I have been exerting a lot of files in March-May and it worked fine before. Now, instead of picking up on the current file name it's trying to export with the previously used file name.

Same problem. very dangerous bug if working with business cards for example. changing name and phone on a template and saving every business card with the same name can lead to very poor results

I really hope that this is not an intentional behavior. Please fix this. It's frustrating.

This bug/feature is a real nuisance and definitely disrupts my workflow. Everyone I've mentioned it to says they can also reproduce it, so it's not just a small number of users.

I've been having a huge trouble with this too. Don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but it's infuriating! Sometimes I need to fix something in my files and I like to always overwrite the pdf copy file I saved before, so I don't have to worry about looking around for it in the folder. I just save and it'll ask me to overwrite... but now I need to scan where the file is so I have to click on it to make it overwrite, so that in the end I don't end up with a file like this "filename copy copy copy copy copy copy.pdf" haha
If this is intentional behavior, it'd be nice for Adobe to let us choose if we want it that way.

Since the last update I noticed that AI is keeping in memory the last file name given in save a copy.
i.e. My document is called thing.ai. I save a copy "thing copy.ai" then when I save a copy again from the master document still open it will save as "thing copy copy.ai". Even if I give a custom name to the copy as "thing outlined.ai", the next save a copy will be "thing outlined copy.ai".
Please note that I never changed the name of the master document. -

Yes! I need to export several formats from a completed project and with the name not going back to the original file in use is horribly frustrating. Please correct this!

Bug - 24.2 64bit - Export files name reverts to previous file
When exporting a file, the file name reverts back to previous export not the current file in use. Risk of over saving of previous work is very annoying.
Different to previous versions
Kind regards
