File naming options

Hello guys! I have an issue when I export audio. My opera has about 40 flows and I`d like to be able to batch export them to a single folder with only the information I find useful. I am aware of the dialog allowing be to specify which elements to build the name with, but this is only available to graphics - would be wonderful for audio indeed. What happens now is:

1: The files land in separate subfolders making it impossible to drag and drop all at once.

2: The file name is very long and all begin with the dorico file name. When I change it and open it i Apple Music or DISCO, it gets overridden by a “title” field hidden i the metadata (seemingly impossible to turn off), with that title being too long to fit, leaving only the name of my opera and perhaps a few characters more, which means I get playlists where all the tracks are named the same or nearly the same. I have tried for some time to override these automatic titles with an mp3 tagger, but it seems unnecessarily cumbersome.

Is there another method that might make it all easier? To summarize: I’d like to be able to design the file names and titles (or just not get the hidden title at all as it just creates trouble for me), and I’d like them all to land in one folder:)

This is a known issue and as far as I know, there is currently no way to improve this. The export function needs a major improvement soon, if you ask me, and in my opinion, the easiest way would be to simply allow the operating system’s standard saving dialogue to be used when exporting.
