Description

Exporting a single response, creates a folder that includes said response as a file.

Steps to Reproduce

Current Behavior

I wanted to export the response as .json but it asked me about the folder extension. This is necessary, as it wants to create a folder. But to me it is weird, because there's no need for a folder when only a single file is exported.

Expected Behavior

As only a single thing is exported, a file is enough.

Then again, if you sometimes export 30 files and sometimes 1, it may be inconsistent. But I think this is acceptable.

Environment

  • App version: e.g Proxyman 3.9.0
  • macOS version: e.g macOS Monterey

Thanks. Let me improve the behavior.

  • If it's 1 request/response -> Just export the file
  • If it's a bulk export -> Add to the folder

Hi, this is still the case.

Also, exporting a folder exports ".folder" within the folder name, which is unnecessary

Thanks for the fast update! It would be great though if it would add a valid file extension. Right now it just exports without any extension, which I have to manually fix again.

Also, exporting a folder still adds .folder.folder in the folder name
