Cut off the network by CamScanner

I went totally off the handle,  when after last update CamScanner seemingly changed preset format to save shots.

Naturally, everybody, I suppose is perfectly familiar with CamScanner app - if not watch the intro video by INTSIG - the app developer:



In main menu I could find only conversion to .pdf format.  In this form  the captured idea cannot be share on social networks esp. #GooglePlus . Infuriated, I wrote a  very negative reference on Play Store. Just by mere chance, clearing superfluous pictures with Total Commander app, I discovered that CamScanner still saves edited images at first as .jpg. Only afterwards convert them into pdf and offer 'share' option - to DropbBox &Co.


Generic file name in CamScanner
Jpg images are to be found in file tree under: Camscanner /.images / .bak  (saved as jpg - should be at least over 1MB.) 
The only insufficiency is naming of that file: CamScanner app applies generic code-like names.
Would be highly appreciated to save even these processed jpg images still within the CamScanner app under chosen name (renaming edited shot  here results in saving file as pdf, instead).

To my immerse pleasing,  AndroZIP saves me the trouble of browsing impersonal coded images:   rename function - in upper menu bar choose button MULTI and check just one desired file, type into the newly open window your desired name with file suffix like .jpg or .png Attention, the suffix should match the original one!
Alternatively, after back-up in DropBox choose from right-hand drop-down menu 'rename' to customise file label.
  
Hope you will spare yourself any feeling of frustration when your favourite feature disappears - NOW you can just enjoy the pure performance of CamScanner on your mobile gadget. ..
PS So my deep apologies go to developers at IntSig Information - and sure, I remain a loyal to this excellent and useful app.
