Photo size and file names

In App options, set Max photo size (px) and JPEG quality 40-95 for new photos, and the File name pattern used when photos are exported. Tap the ⓘ next to Photo export names to see the tokens:

TokenMeaning
{id}Item ID
{n}Photo number
{caption}Short caption
{project} / {projectId}Project name / project ID
{client} / {address}Client / address
{kind}Item type
{date}Inspection date
{species}Tree species

For example the pattern {id}_{n}_{caption} gives T-001_1_north-cavity.jpg. PRO Pro can also stamp the file name onto each exported photo; the position, colour and size are set under Export setting – Photos in project settings.
