kdock Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I've looked. I've really looked/searched/read the FAQs. I just can't find the answer to this topic for Version 2. I've seen mentions of how to set a default save location in the Version 1 archives, but unfortunately, those settings not longer exist in version 2. When I Save, in any of the many ways one can save, it changes the title bar in the Gallery to the name I've given it and displays [M] next to it. I didn't modify the document other than swiped the thumbnail and changed the name from Untitled to a different name. I can't find it in Files. I can't find any option to save it to a default location such as OneDrive, NetDocuments, my home network. I don't have DropBox - I did stumble over that, but I don't want one more location in which to forget images. I previously had V1 of Photo and Designer on this iPad and had no issues saving or finding. If my files are saved, I can't find them. I have folders in Files for Designer, Photo, and Publisher, but there's nothing in them but a folder with one blank file and one log file. I've attached a screenshot of the log file. I'm stuck. I can't get anything out of either Designer 2 or Photo 2. I haven't even tried with Publisher. I don't want to Export, I want to save my .afdesign or .afphoto files in a place where I can access them from my desktop.

You won't find it in Files, as it's still only in the sandbox (Live Docs) at that point.

kdock Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Thanks Walt, I do think I went through what you described as renaming. I tried so many things I'm afraid I now can't be clear about what happened when. I just now followed your suggestion by tapping the 3-bar icon at upper right. This time when I tapped Save, it prompted for the name, and after I named and tapped Save again, it displayed the image in a small icon at the bottom of the Files dialog, allowing me to choose the location. And actually Saved. That didn't happen before so I suspect I didn't do it that way. Apparently, the problem is sitting in my chair. I thank you very much for your response. You saved me.

walt.farrell Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 You're welcome. I suspect you just Renamed, from that left-swipe menu, and never Saved (or Saved As).

DM1 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The (M) appears in the name bar whenever you open a document then return back to Home Screen. It’s an ‘indicator’ to remind you that any changes just made to the document exist ONLY in sandbox. Tap the 3 bar menu and save externally and the (M) disappears.🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
