    I want to expand on a previous comment by user George in Aug 2022, as there is a major bug with this that doesn't seem to be intended:

    Naming an artboard and exporting file with "use artboards" checked, does not add the name of the artboard in the end of the filename as it used to do.

    But if I have more than one artboards, then it works.

    I'd like to add that if I choose a specific number of artboard to export (one of two i.e.), it won't work either. It only seems to work when there are more than one artboards and export all of them at once.

    -----

    TO EXPAND ON THIS LAST POINT, AS IT'S A CRITICAL BUG:

    When exporting a single artboard in a multi-board file (Say I want to re-export artboard image 3 of 10), if I select only 3 in the "range" of artboards, it asks "Do you want to replace image-03.jpg?". But it does not replace this file, instead it just follows the single-artboard export process and exports a file that is just "image.jpg".

    Now my files look like this: image.jpg (should be image 02), image-01.jpg, image-02.jpg, image-03.jpg, and so on.
