Export of a single file (in my case only the .gpx to save it on a stick and import into EFIS) 2. More important: The <name>-Tag within the file should be customizable. At least containing the same name as the file itself. For all my local flights I have everytime the same name and my EFIS (Kanardia) uses the <name>-Tag and not the filename For 1.: I use Android (GrapheneOS), probably it is a OS-Problem? Hope there are some others who like this little daily-use-feature ;-)

The encouraged way to do it is to ask the operating system to present a Share action with all the file formats that you can produce, which in our case is a few, GPX included, and the operating system presents a list of apps that can handle those files. If there's a file-storage app that can save them, I would hope that it allows selection of individual files for saving. Given the above, we can't really present an option to customise the <name> field of the GPX. I checked the code, and it looks like we are using the name of the log correctly, e.g. "LFLI Annemasse - LFGA Colmar Houssen" and that seems right to me. I can't think what else would be sensible.
