# XML Export file name

 * For the past few versions there has been a bug that changes the date placeholders
   for the XML Export file name option. It always strips out the % symbol. For example,
   if the default name is mysite.wordpress.%Y-%m-%d it gets changed to mysite.wordpress.
   Y-m-d and it can’t be changed back. It keeps stripping out the % character.

    hmm, 
   I’m not sure but in my case, it’s just working fine with XML file export. Could
   you please tell me more detail infomation about how to reproduce this issue? 
   Thank you!
