I think I have found the issue in the code. In qgslayoutatlas.cpp, in line 347. I believe that what is happening is that the entire path is converted into a QFileInfo fileName() somehow (I'm sorry, my knowledge in C++ is very limited) so my understanding is that because a file cannot contain a "\" in the name, it is converted to a "_" in the dialog.
My conclusion is that this might not be a bug after all, and that now it is working as it is supposed to be (I might be wrong though). I think in QGIS 2.18, it did what it wasn't supposed to and miraculously served our purpose, which was to find the correct folder (constructed with an expression) and adding the feature name to the file automatically. Any ideas on this? Best, Raúl El lun., 21 ene. 2019 a las 11:03, Raúl Sangonzalo Terrado (< raulsangonz...@gmail.com>) escribió: > Hello, > > I posted this in "https://issues.qgis.org/issues/21010".
