Good point, Patrick.  I'll have to check it again on my Linux system.

Be sure that you use the command in the right form, like this -
F:\\Photos\\Exports\\$(FILE_NAME).  Note the double backslashes.  It works
quite well.

I've always wanted to be able to save to the folder the file is from and
today I was looking at the options under under 'export selected' and
noticed, '$(FILE_FOLDER)'. Cool except it doesn't want to work. it saves
to the directory immediately above. if you want to see this graphically
I want to save file 'x/y/z/pic to directory 'z' in directory /x/y/z but
it saves it to directory 'y'. Any idea what os wrong? Is this a bug or
am I being goofy.

from the appearance of his post, he is using a linux system, not windows
and he would want something like:
   $(FILE_FOLDER)/DrkTbl/$(FILE_NAME)

"$(FILE_FOLDER)" being where the original images reside.


look at the definitions in the fine manual.
   https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/export_selected.html

   base directory naming pattern:  $(PICTURES_FOLDER)/DrkTbl
   subdirectory naming pattern:   $(YEAR)$(MONTH)$(DAY)_$(JOBCODE)
   file naming pattern:            
$(YEAR)$(MONTH)$(DAY)_$(SEQUENCE).$(FILE_EXTENSION)


above is three lines, will probably wrap in your client.
