Time code included in frame export!!

Question

I have done something but cannot remember what!!!
When I export a frame from the timeline it includes the time from the timeline making for a long file name.
Could someone please tell me how to turn the time off in the export?  Looked at all the prefs but cannot find the option.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 fully up to date.
Thanks
Brian

Sorry this change is not to your liking.
As to adding an option to control this, we hear that a lot with various changes that some customers don't like. When designing a feature, we consider which aspects merit a pref, but the bar is rather high because we have to guard against the UI becoming cluttered. The more prefs there are, the harder it is for users to remember what options they have and find one when they want it. Also, preferences add to the complexity of the code, the testing matrices, and the process of troubleshooting user-reported issues. Granted that the latter concerns are not much in play with something as simple as whether to append the frame's timecode in the name.
I was not involved in this change, but I suspect the thinking was that when the name was simply <source name>_##, most users would edit the name to something more descriptive. The expectation was that adding the timecode would provide useful context--perhaps enough that some users would be able to skip editing the name--and those who don't want the timecode in the image name would probably be editing the string anyway, in which case having a longer initial string (entirely selected by default) would cost them nothing.
Bottom line: if you feel strongly enough that adding an option for this should be a high priority for us, please submit a feature request.
