`$(ROLL_NAME)` is just first-level folder name

[dogusAkaydin]

Describe the bug/issue

$(ROLL_NAME) is just first-level folder name, not the name of the film roll as displayed in the list under Collections. If the images are placed, for example, in D:\photos\2022.12.01-New_Years\NEF then $(ROLL_NAME) simply becomes NEF, not 2022.12.01-New_Years\NEF, which is the name displayed in film rolls list with 2-level deep naming scheme.

To Reproduce Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the behaviour, for example:

1. Go to 'Export' in Lighttable module.
2. Select $(ROLL_NAME) as a parameter to define the export location. Eg. D:\\darktable_exports\\$(ROLL_NAME)
3. See that the images are exported to under first-level directory, i.e. D:\darktable_exports\NEF

Expected behavior $(ROLL_NAME) should be the film roll name as displayed on the Collections, resulting in images being exported to D:\darktable_exports\2022.12.01\NEF, as per the example given.

(For the future, feature request: Be able to define roll names by truncating the path from the right as well. Eg. roll name for images under D:\2022.12.01-New_Years\NEF can be set to 2022.12.01-New_Years by truncating the level-1 subdirectory name NEF.)

Platform

• darktable version : 3.8.1 release
• OS : Win10

Did you try $(FILE_FOLDER) ?

[phweyland]

Not a bug. Like this since 2015.

Did you try $(FILE_FOLDER) ?

Yes, unfortunately $(FILE_FOLDER) is the full path and I can't seem to be able to repurpose it to define new paths.
