Question

Can’t change default export file name

Hi! 
I hope someone will help me with this problem, because I'm loosing my patience...

A few months ago I had a couple day trial of Lightroom Mobile Premium (on my iPhone), I had a lot of photos to edit so it was a super convenient choice. 
I managed to change the default name of exported photos to let's say "XXX_1", and now EVERY photo I export by clicking "export to camera roll" has that "XXX_1" name as default... 
How can I change it?

Please help, I'm paying for premium now as well.

    I found one solution that worked for me although its not ideal and it seems like a bug that needs to be addressed by Adobe. I ended up deleting the app and re-installed it. Once I logged in I was able to export to camera roll with the original default file name structure. Of course I made sure that all my photos were backed before deleting the app. 

     

    Hope this helps.

    Uninstalling should not help better than changing the settings for the export mode that you have used.
    Since uninstalling can lead to data loss it not encouraged.

    Thanks,

    Hope this helps.

    As you've noticed these settings are sticky.
    If you want to try stuff out, the best thing is to use Export As since can set all settings upfront.

      Hi, thanks for the reply. 

      Your way of exporting solves the problem, but still the export default is that "XXX_1" name that I originally set. 

      Gonna have to deal with it 😉 

      Take care x

      Ok, 
      just to make sure we are talking about the same thing:
      A. You change the setting from e.g. Share to to use Original and when you use Share to and want to share a JPG, you get the file name with XXX_1.jpg? Note that once setting the value you need to tap on the checkmark icon on the upper right.

      It would be helpful to know which language you are using, since you should be getting XXX-1.jpg.
      But yes, if A does give you a file name with XXX_1.JPG

      I'm having the same exact issue. We're you able to figure out a way to change the default export file name when exporting to camera roll?
