The recent 3 or 4 builds of Helicon Focus 6 seems to have an issue when you try to export a stack to TIFF. It used to base the target file name on the source file names with the method and radius / smoothing encoded in the file name like so:
2013-12-22_10-10-52 M=B R=8 S=4.tif
but I get 99% of the time the target file name defaulted to Untitled.tiff

Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
We failed to reproduce this bug so far. Please send us one of the source images and information about your OS version.
Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
Mac OS X 10.9.1. This happened on earlier versions too.
I add the two files by dragging / dropping them on to Helicon Focus' canvas area. I click Restore defaults then render. Once done I click the Saving tab then Save...
I get the file name Untitled as per attached.

Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
This has only been an issue for me since upgrading to OS X10.9.1 (Mavericks). [Helicon Focus 6.0.18]. If I import images to Helicon Focus using the File, Open images dialog in the menu bar, then the output file is sometimes correctly named. If the output file is "Untitled" and I then leave Helicon Focus open and import another stack, again using the File, Open images dialog in the menu bar, the output file is then correctly named. Puzzling, indeed.
Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
I always drag / drop the images on the canvas of the app.

Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
Many thanks, we will try different ways to open stacks, maybe this is the key to solution!
Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
Not sure if this helps, but Helicon Focus is open, and I always drag / drop files replacing the previous ones. I regularly switch modes - Mode A / B / C, every time export (Save...) as TIFF. For every 20 times that I export an image, one or two would have a proper file name. I cannot see any correlation when it exports as Undefined and when it assigns a proper file name.
Re: Export TIFF filename defaults to Untitled
Any updates? This makes using the software very hard as exporting 30 - 40 TIFF files is hard when I have to manually type in unique file names.

We are working on advanced file naming feature, and plan to release it with next minor update
