When exporting a shapefile from VW it adds the suffix _polygons or _polylines to each exported file, I then have to rename each file from the export to remove the suffix as it disrupts the shape files import into our GIS system. The suffix is completely unnecessary for us so an option to toggle it off would be preferential as we will never need it to be included in our file name.
As far as I am aware there is no option to remove this suffix, I have looked through the VW preferences and the shapefile export preferences but can't find anything. There is an old Wishlist post from 2014, asking for its removal, that never got a response (attached below) so I'm hoping this will be looked into this time. As the previous post suggested, a simple tick box with the ability to disable the suffix would be more than sufficient to fix the problem. Thanks.
