Generator python3 doesn't resolve variables in filenames #185

Closed jimadilo closed 2 years ago

jimadilo commented 2 years ago

When using a filename like:

Filename_%VAR_var%

With data like:

var

1 2 3

Filenames are resolved to:

Filename_var.pdf

Clobbering eachother.

Tested with Scribus 1.5.7 and latest ScribusGenerator as of 12/12/2021.

Forgot to mention that this was on Windows 10.
