I am running Finale v 26 on Windows 10.

I export my parts individually as PDFs and send them to my musicians.   

When I did this on v 25 - from a view of the specific part - using File/Export/PDF - I would get prompted to save the PDF as:  "Title - PartName".  Life was good.

Since upgrading to v26 - I get prompted to save the PDF as "Title" only - so I have to type in the part name.  I want the old behavior back.  I do this a lot and it takes a ton more time now to get PDFs.

Using the Print Dialog is worse - because you get prompted only with the "Title" AND you have to somehow remember what order Finale is printing the parts in.

I tried Graphic Exports - but it seems to have the same problem.  There is a tantalizing File Names menu with a Radio Button for "Generate File names from:"  followed by a directory - but I can't edit for PDFs - the only option is to prompt for file name.

Can someone please help me find the setting or confguration to get the PartName back in this PDF file name prompt.  I am open at this poitn to an method of creation?  (Stil  not sure why print to PDF shouldn't be able to do this?)

For Extra Credit  - I'd also like it to append the LastModifiedDate.  So I can easily save the parts thus as "Title-PartName-DateModifided"

Thanks!
