A little late to the table, but it may hope with future searches of this question.

The placeholder you need is:

<$pageGroupTitle>

This enables you to put a chapter title in the Page Setup, Footer during the compile.

So, provided the text file has the story name as its title, it should work.

You can see a list of all Scrivener placeholders by clicking:

Help -> List of All Placeholders

from the top menu. Not all placeholders are supported in headers and footers, but this one is.

Unfortunately, text file title isn't a "placeholder tag". BUT, I think this may work:

Make a custom metatag in the settings. I'll call mine "Blah" for this example. Populate that with the story titles. There may be a better way to do this, but I'm not sure how.

Then in the Compile settings, under the Page Settings tab, edit the Footer field to add .

Easy enough, and that should work.

There may be a better way where you can actually get at filenames, but I can't find it.
