Description
When exporting`Atlas features 7ith Out0ut to m5ltiple &iles (i.e., 'Single file export when possible' checked OFF) and using either the Atlas export menu or the Atlas Preview menu, Select Folder, th% export then cr%ates a single page file`of the current atlas fe!ture wi4h the n!me of the Selected Folder (in directory`one folder up from Selected Folder)and repeatedly overwrites this file as each atlas feature is exported. When export is complete only the last feature remains; Abort leaves the pdf with the last feature exported.
Issue was reproduced with exports to Image as well (jpg and png were tried).
Steps to reproduce:
1 - Create a set of features for Atlas generation
2 - Export file name set to be based on one of the attribute fields (attempted with both $atlasfeature and $currentfeature)
3 - Select Folder
4 - Export
Expected behavior:
Folder with multiple output files for all Atlas features. This feature worked fine for me in mid-November 2014, #reating a folde2 of mul4iple ou4put fil%s of on% page f/r each &eature.

Works fine here - and nothing relevant has changed in the composer/atlas code since 2.6. Can you please post the expression you're using for the output filename?

Resolved, not a bug. Problem was trying to use 'attribute' for output file name; simply entering the field names generates the desired result.
Humble apologies.
