Feature Request: Extend “Exported APK Name” with App-Package-Version and custom template support #166

Hi, thanks for maintaining Package Manager.

Would you consider extending the existing Exported APK Name setting (currently App name / Package name) with:

  • App + Package + Version
  • Custom template

Examples:

Firefox-org.mozilla.firefox-125.2.0.apk
Firefox-org.mozilla.firefox-125.2.0.apks

Simple template tokens could be enough:

{app}
{pkg}
{ver}

Examples:

{app}-{pkg}-{ver}
{app}_{pkg}_{ver}
{pkg}-{ver}

Optional: live preview in Settings using the same export-name builder.

For split exports (.apks / .xapk), this would only rename the exported container file, not internal split members (base.apk, config.en.apk, etc.), to preserve compatibility.

Suggested safeguards:

  • replace illegal filename characters with _
  • auto-suffix duplicates (Name (1).apks)

Benefits:

  • easier archive organization
  • better version tracking
  • improves batch export usability

This seems like it may fit as a small extension of the existing setting, without new permissions or manifest changes.

Thanks for considering it.
