Describe the bug
After exporting a sprite sheet and switching to another aseprite project: trying to export that one does not populate the JSON Data field with a usable default value.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open two distinct Aseprite projects
- Click on
File -> Export Sprite Sheeton project A and export (see: first screenshot attached) - Switch to project B and open the
File -> Export Sprite Sheetwindow again - The error occurs with the value of
JSON Databeing**filename**(see: second screenshot attached) - If you were to run the second export the output
.pngfile will be exported successfully but theJSONfile will be absent
Expected behavior
The JSON Data field should default to a path name relative to the project name in the same manner as it does for the first export.
