Default filenames
As it stands, it appears that the default name is Part Studio Name - Part Name. I'd like to include the document name, as it makes the exports more logical, but I can't find any option to do this. Is this a case that I just haven't found it, or is there a way of doing this? Typing it in every time is one thing, but it's a bit of a pain! It would seem to me that there should be a way of defining a default filename. Apologies if I've missed something obvious, but I didn't find it in preferences, and the only result in searching here was not relevant.

Oh, thank you Neil, good to now. It seems I was a bit too angry here, sorry!0 -
But this would be very general for all documents. Is there not a way to change the export name just for one Part Studio or Assembly, which might include specific options/values that are set in the variables or in the configuration, @NeilCooke?

I appreciate the global setting, that's great. I also would love to see this control at each layer. Account, workspace, part studio/assembly, and i guess parts directly. With access to configuration variables of course.
This seems to be the most direct answer I found. It depends on custom properties which are limited to … well, at least not free accounts.
