Some Q & A

[jesmrec]

Interesting for documentation, some Q&A about behaviour details of the iOS app:

Q:

While documenting the iOS app settings -> "Media upload": What does "keep media file names" mean? What happens to filenames if I deactivate it?

A:

• keep media file names ON: media files will have in ownCloud the name they have in the iOS system. Like IMG_2222.heic or VID_2222.mov
• keep media files names OFF : media files with longer name Photo-<date>_<seq_number>.heic

Q:

when trying to logout I open the sidebar and tap on the eject icon right to my username. My understanding was that this is the action to log me out. But I still have access to my files. So I swiped over my username and a red "log out" button appears which seems to log me out really. Is this the correct behaviour? If so, could you explain to me why there is this intermediate action with the eject icon?

A:

Tapping the eject button closes/disconnects an active connection. "Delete"ing (by swipe, called "Log out" in branded version) removes the connection.

Similar to closing an open document (you no longer see the contents, but you can open it again) vs. deleting a document (the document is gone).
The eject button is a UI pattern used for over a decade on macOS for network drives and IIRC now also used in the iOS Files app for connections to SMB/Window shares.
