In times gone by, my recollection is that the export filename was
$(FILE_FOLDER)/Darktable_export/$(FILE_NAME).
I recently had cause to manually select an export destination, and since
then I have had to manually set the export filename.
Does anyone know if there is a way of automatically setting the export
filename, as above, when needed?
I have perused the manual and settings, but not seen anything that helps.

my choice is:  $(FILE_FOLDER)/DrkTbl/$(FILE_NAME)
and is set in the export module on a line just below "target storage" when
"file on disk" option is selected.

raw images exist in "$(FILE_FOLDER)
directory "DrkTbl" is created if is does not exist when an image is
"exported"
"$(FILE_NAME)" is the image file name sans extension, in my case ".nef".


Thanks, I know that, perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly.
My question is relates to the fact that if I manually change to a different export filename, whatever $(FILE_FOLDER) I then work in I have to manually change the export  filename back to $(FILE_FOLDER)/Darktable_export/$(FILE_NAME). There doesn't seem to be a default that one can simply select from a menu, it all has to be typed in char by char, everytime you change your working folder.

Cheers,
I've created a series of presets in the export module for different tasks.
All settings in this panel can be saved for later reuse. Press the button to manage your presets.

They include different size, file type and export locations, e. g. for web use, prints, further processing e.g. in hugin etc.

That way I simply select rather than type ...
