My first contribution to FreeCAD so bear with me. Often while modelling I'll make changes to parts and export with different file names. I noticed that if you export with a custom file name, subsequent export filenames are not what you would expect. See video example here:
freecad_export_orig.mp4
I made a very small adjustment to the export code so we now track if the selected object changes between exports and if so, we generate the default filename. I find this produces results which would be more expected by the user. See video after change here:
freecad_export_new.mp4
this fixes #18913
