I snipped some of the json output for convenience but WTF!!! : _closed_s_0_100 , where the hell is the layer name?

it seems the “Split Layers” checkbox must be ticked in order for {layer} to work? But the documentation does not say any of that. If this is not a bug, it should be documented that its required to be checked

Hi @jest, actually using {layer} in the filename should enable the split layers option (at least from the CLI), probably a bug in the Export Sprite Sheet UI (or probably a more generic regression bug introduced). I’ll take a look to this later.

Yeah, CLI does require --split-layers for this to work. If its intended that the UI also needs --split-layer turned on then we should document it or show a warning of sorts
