Yes same here, first version V5.0 it was okay but later versions lost that.
I have running V5.1.0.9484 and there it is lost also.

Similar issue for me as well. I have “{input_filename_base}_{print_time}.gcode” listed in my Filename Format textbox of the Others settings tab. The output filename when saving locally or uploading to CrealityCloud however ends up being a truncated input_filename_base then the filament type and the print time.

Expected filename for my input file “banana_stand.stl”: banana_stand_3h17m.gcode

Actual filename for saving/exporting: banana__PLA_3h17m.gcode

I even attempted adding quotes and escaping them and using some characters outside of the curly brackets to see what the effect was and nothing had any effect at all.

I’m also having this issue on 5.1.4.10249. To workaround, I have to manually rename each print file, which is tedious.

I’m hoping this can get fixed because only having the first 7 letters of my part names is making it hard to log my prints.

There is long pending issue.

Filename “bottom_glued.stl”
marcro set to “{input_filename_base}{filament_type[0]}{print_time}.gcode”
it turn out as “bottom__PLA_3m”

as of 9Nov2024

Even more the “3DBenchy_-Multi-part-Single-Bridge_roof-_3DBenchy.com”

coming only “3DBench”
