Opusscriptinstall filename stem seem to vary when script uses an include script

Trying to export a script which uses an include script, I noticed a behaviour that seems to have changed.
Use case involves:

  • An include script: inc_<Name of the include script>
  • A script using the above include script: <Name of the using script>

It looks like:

  • If <Name of the include script> sorts alphabetically after <Name of the using script>: then the proposed name during script share is <Name of the using script>
  • But, if they are sorted the other way, then the proposed name in the file save dialog is <Name of the include script>

This seems to have changed, since I already shared a script properly (with its own name) and now it gets the name of the include script by default in the save dialog.

I don't think it's that big a deal since installing will copy both scripts to the proper folder, but it's a bit confusing to try and share script B and getting proposed to name the export inc_Script A.opusscriptinstall.

EDIT: correction: the sort order includes the "inc_" part of the include script.
So if you export a script (using inc_whatever): the save dialog will propose the name of the script if its name starts with [A-H] or I[A-M], etc ... ; otherwise, the proposed name will be the one of the include script.

Fixed in the next beta.
