LionelD Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Hi, I’m still very new to AD for iPad. I save files on the iPad, so they become visible in the Files app. When I export PNG and/or JPG versions of a file, all of them become visible in the Files app, but Files does not show file name extensions, so there’s no way to differentiate one file format from another. Can anyone suggest a way of distinguishing between files in different formats (afdesign, PNG, JPG, etc) when viewed in the Files app? I can’t find a preference setting for either AD or Files; am I looking in the wrong place? Regards Lionel Quote
Angelos58 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 A workaround is inserting the extension in the name. For example instead of calling a file “puppy” you can call it “puppypng” or “puppy_png”. Quote
LionelD Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 Thanks for the suggestion. I have done that when I remember, but I forget more often than I remember. Regards Lionel Quote
Brad Brighton Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 @LionelD if it's just an occasional need, long press the file in the Files list and tap Info from the popup menu (you may need to tap the right arrow if the menu is truncated). If it's a "you need to see it on every file every time" need, this suggestion will be annoying at best. :-D Quote https://bmb.photos | Focus: The unexpected, the abstract, the extreme on screen, paper, & other physical output.
