I think right now you can only do that by using the CLI from command line:  
[https://www.aseprite.org/docs/cli/](https://www.aseprite.org/docs/cli/)  
[https://community.aseprite.org/t/the-command-line-interface/24](https://community.aseprite.org/t/the-command-line-interface/24)

The line that you should use for this task is:  
aseprite -b “name\_of\_your\_archive.ase” --save-as {layer}.png

Or, is your sprite is animated:  
aseprite -b “name\_of\_your\_archive.ase” --save-as {layer}\_{frame01}.png

In both cases, the name of the exported files (or file sequences) will be the same of the layer.

I hope this helps! 🙂
