Missing functionality compared to the legacy version #35

Just wanted to ask, if there's a way to add back the option of "variable name "in the data set name assignment. It was a really useful feature in the legacy version and it seems to be missing in the most recent one.

It's there, but unfortunately in your case you may have to go to your Windows resolution settings and set it to 100%, then look at the dropdown inside the drodown fields in the dataset naming dialog. When the UI scaling is at default 100%, the truncated dropdown items are visible, so you should see the variable's names listed in there now.

Thanks for your reply! Indeed it was the text scaling in Windows display settings (mine was set at 125% instead of the default 100%). And thanks for this script, you've saved a lot of time for a lot of people :)

If you rarely have to change the dataset names, you can change your resolution scaling settings back each time. Otherwise if you are technically-inclined you could try to edit the JSON document inside the Documents/Adobe Scripts/VariableImporter folder that gets created and is used by the script to store settings.
