hi, Cannabik!
it seems to me that splitting file by layers will (or should) work only for CLI, like in the example shown here: Aseprite - Docs - Cli
i think that’s because when exporting from aseprite, you have to select the option to export all visible layers, selected layers or specific layer. i may be wrong though.
but theoretically you should at least get the name of the layer included when using {layer}. so that does seem to be a bug.
anyway, try CLI first to check if that works for you.
alternatively, you can also try to use the script: [Script] Export sprite's layers separately - #14 by Gaspi
although i think that will only export layers to sprites, not sequences of files. so you may need to convert those.
