I'm using this:
and dropping a folder into Choose Input Files. I expect the output placement to be alongside the folder, but it is inside - as if "..\" was failing.
Bug?

Re: Build 359 - Save Documents Filename bug?
Hello, chrisjj
Not a bug, just a feature which does not actually exist. When you select "use source folder as destination" the contents will appear inside that folder, the filename macro functionality does not allow for this style of "drill up" commands to be incorporated.
Unfortunately at the moment, there is no way to automate what you have written here. You may want to create an "output" folder inside of the source folder, and simply add "output\" to the front of your filename so that files will be placed inside of it, instead of trying to go backwards out of the folder.
Kind regards,

Thanks. Suggestion: fix this silent acceptance of invalid input.
> the filename macro functionality does not allow for this style of "drill up" commands to be incorporated.
The example does not use it in filename macro functionality, note.

Thanks but I definitely do not want the output file in the input folder. Not least because of what would happen when, on the next run, I again include the whole input folder.

Hello, chrisjj
Understood. In this case, perhaps you should simply set a specific output folder instead.
Kind regards,

In this case, that would fail to keep output files in their respective projects.
Thanks anyway for the thought.

Re: Build 359 - Save Documents Filename bug?
Update: Further testing now find this is working as expected, every time.
e.g.
dropping D:\!t\done into Choose Input Files gives:
Quite why the earlier failure, I do not know.
so, FTR, " a feature which does not actually exist" is incorrect.

Hi Chris,
well I guess you keep an eye on it and we wait to hear if you report issues again.
