Drag and drop from AP to Files app ignores file name

[Rocketdrive]

I usually give my illustrations meaningful names. When dragging and dropping them to the files app those names are ignored, instead files are renamed to the scheme "Affiity Photo Document" and a number, if more than one are present. On the other hand, saving files from the gallery keeps the name. The process of saving writes into a folder called Affinity Photo, in iCloud drive.

Now drag and drop is important because I use a additional cloud storage. Unless there is a way to tell AP to use other storage providers by default I'd like it to at least keep the file names.

Hi @Rocketdrive,

Can you please explain this

When dragging and dropping them to the files app

Where from? 

If you drag-drop from the home page, you would expect this because the files will not be associated with a name unless you save or save as. Until then they are just an "Affiity Photo Document". The naming would be "internal", within affinity. 

You can open the project, tap on the file in the top left corner and "Save a copy" to the place of your choice. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Hey Gabe, yes dragging from the AP home screen. Well I wasn't expecting the behaviour at all, that's why I mention it. There would be nothing wrong with using the internal name anyway, regardless if saving a copy or draggin'/droppin'.

That file name does not exist "outside" affinity. That's why I said the naming is only internally unless you save or save as a copy. When you drag-drop it will create a generic name.

By "it" You are referring to AP or iOS/Files app? If not an iOS limitation it could be handled by AP, thus passing the internal name to the OS, right?
