At the moment, when I export an image from Lightroom, I simply use the original image filename (with new extension).
What I would like to do, if I have applied a Title, is to use that as the export filename instead.
I do not title all my images, and using both title and filename together is not what I want.
Is there a way to only use Title when it has a value?
I don't believe there is any conditional operator to allow you to say "if title is non-blank use that, otherwise use filename".
Only two choices I can think of.
Best is to create smart collections: one with images that have titles, one without. Then do two exports on each collection, using {Title} on one and {Original Filename} on the other.
The other choice would be to somehow set all blank titles to the original filename (on import perhaps). Then export is easy, just use {Title} and of course rename the title for those you want to have a proper title. I don't think that's a good choice, to use Title for something it's really not. But it simplifies export and you don't have to use smart collections.
