BugEither a bug report, or a bug fix. Let's hope for the latter!DXF/DWGRelating to DXF or DWG importing/exportingGUI/UXRelated to QGIS application GUI or User Experience
Before creating a PR to fix this, I'd like to know if there is any consensus on this matter. I wasn't sure on whether to post this issue in QGIS or QGIS Docs, but finally thought it fits better here in the QGIS repo.
The DXF Export dialog includes an option called Use layer title as name if set. However, it is not clear for users where is this layer title taken from.
A first guess could be the layer's metadata, but that's not correct. Currently, this layer title is taken instead from the QGIS Server properties. Apparently that was the original intention (see 555b7a4), so this is not a bug, it's just a matter of making it clear for users.
Documentation for this option does not help to reduce the confusion either.
Suggestion
I'd suggest that we add a tooltip to this option stating where the title is taken from. Namely, something like this:
Layer title is taken from QGIS Server properties.
The checkbox text would remain untouched.
Documentation will be updated accordingly.
Would that (specially the wording) make sense for you guys? @DelazJ@nirvn@jef-n
Steps to reproduce the issue
Go to Project ► Import/Export ► Export Project to DXF…
The option is the first check box on the bottom group.
