Wrong file name when clicking "Save data"

Hi!

Not sure if I'm really dumb here or if it's a bug, so though I'd ask before posting it as an issue...

I'm using WebDAV to sync my Passwords.kdbx file between computer and phone. I recently made an edit to the database on my phone in KeePassDX and clicked "Save data". But I didn't see the edit on my laptop. Turns out it was saved as Passwords.kdbx-1784633791.985662-M3ipmKmb.kdbx instead of Passwords.kdbx. Am I missing something basic here?

KeePassDX version: 4.4.5
Android version: 16
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S25
One UI version: 8.5

KeePassDX does not have the ability to manage the WebDAV protocol or automatically rename a file linked to a saved URI.
You should refer to the documentation of the application you are using for synchronizing your files.

Thanks for the reply! I was under the impression that KeePassDX does not manage the underlying file transfer at all, since it relies on some other program to do the syncing. But it sounds on your response like some protocols are better supported than others. Is that so?

It depends on which file manager you're using. KeePassDX uses only the Storage Access Framework. Be sure to read the wiki carefully. https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/wiki/File-Manager-and-Sync
