Option to NOT create subfolders when exporting assets

It really annoys me that Figma automatically creates subfolders when you export an element that’s inside a component and has a ‘/’ naming convention. I always have to go back into the folder and delete the folders or rename everything. It would be great to have a simple checkbox toggle in the exports panel to enable/disable creating subfolders, similar to Illustrator.

true, those subfolders are annoying

Fully agree! Being allowed to choose NOT to auto-create subfolders would be amazing and save me time and hassle on a regular basis. Thank you for considering this!

Oh my god PLEASE. It’s so annoying—just put the files where I asked figma to put them

I can’t state just how annoying this is. Exported files will just not “show up” where you told it to export. Instead you have to figure out which folder it thought it should go, open Finder individually and stupidly navigate there. It’s just so annoying.

Yes, this. So annoying when the exported screens or assets are nested in 3 or 4 folders.
