short screencast of directly saving screenshot, works, exporting to applications fails

SUMMARY

I use the standard naming template for filenames in Spectacle. Directly saving images from the dialog after taking them works, exporting them to any app using the "export" button results in a filename where the variables aren't evaluated.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take screenshot
2. Click "Save" - works
3. same, click "export" - filename contains unevaluated variables

OBSERVED RESULT

see above, see attached screencast

EXPECTED RESULT

Both paths should result in the same filename.
