Be able to click an existing file name when choosing file path for exporting, and have your export be automatically re-named to that
This was a feature in non-beta Premiere

We are working to fix this ASAP. I totally agree that this is a regression from the previous version. I'll update the thread here when we have a fix available in public beta and when it has been fixed in release.

Thank you. This is also an issue when creating a new project. If I'm, say, working on a video series where every project name has the same title and the only thing that changes is an episode number at the end, it's great to be able to just click on another project title, have that name apply to your new project title and then just change the episode number at the end. There are numerous other examples of how this is useful as well. I often crank out a lot of short form content in a day so these types of things are important to me. Thank you!

I'm having a similar frustration. Here's one scenario in detail (I just realized others have posted below with similar comments):
Say for instance, I export a file and have used an extensive long-winded naming convention. I play it back in Finder, catch a mistake, go back to Premiere to re-export it. I want to overwrite the previous file when I go to export. In the old standard export window that's in every other Adobe app and most other apps in general, you can rename your file in the same window where you go to tell it what folder to export to. This allows you to click on any file within that folder and it'll apply that file name to the file you're about to export. I use this feature ALL THE TIME in every app since forever. Now I can't do it anymore in Premiere. So now I have to go out to Finder, navigate to the folder I'm exporting to. Copy the file name. Go back to Premiere and paste the file name in the export window. If we could have an option to use the legacy export window that exists in every other app, that would be much appreciated!

This isn't properly fixed in Windows 10.
When I export an mp4, it doesn't show me any mov files in my explorer window. You've limited the Save As dialog to only the file preset it's meant to export. Which means I cannot click a Prores-encoded Quicktime file and use that file name to create an h.264 file. This affects every file format, so if I want to export a WAV file, I can't see any video files to match names.

"his issue has been fixed and you can test it in public beta right now. We have implemented a "Save As" dialog instead of just a simple location picker which we had before. This allows you to set the name in the same step as choosing the location including the ability to click on a previous file to copy the name. We usually don't promise when a fix will be released, but I can say that we intend to get this into the very next patch release since this is causing such a headache for so many people. Many appologies for the inconvenience."
If you actually were sorry for the inconvenience you would listen to the USER VOICES and roll back the Export UI all together. Many of us have rolled back to 22.2 until something is done. The silence from Adobe on this is deafening.

Everything was fine before you changed the interface, which takes more than a meter now on my 49 inch monitor. And when you change export ui back (change is hard, we all feel with you ...) don't forget the undos for these silly New Project and Import interfaces.

Nice to see that Adobe are SORT OF listening to all of these complaints. I have a better solution though...
Just get the Devs to keep hitting CMD Z until the've rolled it back to the previous version and all of your customers will be extremely happy!
In life sometimes it's better to not fix what ain't broke and the export window was NOT BROKEN! Put your ego aside and just admit a wrong direction was taken,

"I totally agree that this is a regression from the previous version". Well, bring back the previous, far superior export workflow version then! EVERYBODY HATES THIS STUPID EXPORT THING SOOOO MUCH. BRING BACK THE OLD ONE (which had NOTHING wrong with it).

Thank you for working on fixing this! I have tried to give the new UI a chance but have simply given up and begun sending everything through ME for the sake of speed.

Exactly, @Stuart.
It's been well over a month now with several Premiere updates and still no change. Adobe could win awards for their appalling lack of competence in listening to the hundred odd people who have been dealing with this woefully inefficient and time consuming bumble, not to mention the thousands who have just been trying to make it work with all the extra steps that were added to exporting. What a massive and completely avoidable fail.

Listen to your user base that are taking the time and trouble to tell you what a bin fire this change is. We're not complaining because it's different. We're complaining because it isn't useable.
Bring. Back. The. Old. UI.

I totally agree, bring back the old UI please!!!!!!!!

Luke Sorensen commented
The so-called "new" Export UI is a total disaster!!! SO many extra mouse movements, extra clicks, doubling up of things, typing instead of just clicking.... can't believe you paid someone to come up with this as they are clearly not using the software in a working sense... It's illogical in every sense.

Good. Now how about fixing the rest of your menu? As a Premiere user for the last 22 years, the lack of care Adobe have for their customers since they went to subscription is now making me look at Resolve as an alternative. I can't believe how bugged and awful this latest upgrade is. The new file export screen is a nightmare that slows me down and I have constant frame errors when editing. I can't believe you claim to run a Beta program when you release rubbish like this!
In the old days you couldn't get away with this behaviour as we simply would have refused to purchase the upgrade. But with users locked into a subscription you seem to foist any old rubbish on us and we don't get a say in it!

"We are working to fix this ASAP. "
How about just reverting to the universally preferred old UI, until you have the time to build a properly working interface? Rushing things doesn't appear to work very well with the DVA devs, as it usually breaks more things than it fixes. The one thing you can do ASAP is fire Francis and employ a UX designer that has used video editing software for more than 30 minutes.

Please also move the export button next to literally everything else in the CENTER of the screen instead of all the important data entry boxes and buttons being on the extreme edges of the screen around a giant useless preview monitor. I already previewed my edit. That's why I'm exporting it. We don't mind change, if the change is good. This new UI is maddeningly stupid. Does no one at Adobe actually use their own products?

The new export “Window”, tab ? Just feels wrong.

I agree with the comments here. This new UI requires more steps. It also does not allow me to choose my scratch disk locations for each individual projects. Naming also takes longer. This is a waste of time and starts my projects with frustration.

the new UI is terrible
