Sean is there any way for AP to recognise actions that cannot be completed due to the need to 'rasterise' and do it automatically? It sure is a trap for us beginners.

 

A lot of stuff is pretty much covered by the Assistant. If you go Document > Assistant you will see a screen that allows you to change the behaviour (or simply turn off) when doing raster operations on vector objects (which is what category the 'Image' object falls into). However there are somethings that are not covered by this, simply because most of the time when people want to duplicate vector objects they do not want to rasterise them.

Thanks Sean. I haven't used the vector functions much yet so don't really understand the significance of image versus pixel layer. I'll neeed to do a bit more reading and have a play with vectors.

I think this issue dates back to the last Apple Store version, but when importing or opening a tiff (may also happen when going from RAW), saving out changes the file name case from capital initials to lower case. For example Sophia_Delicate_2_17_18 to sophia_delicate_2_17_18. I don’t run iOS betas, so that’s not the issue. Not a huge problem, but weird.

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce this - are you able to record a video showing the entire process please from opening/importing to saving?

Thanks for that - it looks like the cause of it is coming from Dropbox. I had been using iCloud which wasn't a problem and imported the filename casing correctly. I've just tried the same in Lightroom CC on the iPad and that also does the same thing, so I would contact Dropbox about this as it looks like their API is not passing filename casing correctly in the Files App.

EDIT: Looks like they're already aware of the issue:
