It seems that the export resolution you get when you drag a photo from Photos to another location is super inconsistent.

The original resolution is 3024x4032.

For example, if I drag to the desktop, I get 3024x4032. It's JPGged a bit, but it's adequate.

If I drag to Messages or Twitter, I get full resolution as well.

However, if I drag to Telegram, it gets scaled down to 1024x768. And no, it's not Telegram doing the scaling, because if I drag to the desktop first then drag THAT file to Telegram, it goes in at full resolution. Same deal if I export to anything with a file dialog.

There doesn't seem to be any controls to control exporting with drag. Has anyone else had issues with this? Basically I want FULL resolution exports, always, unless I export manually and select a lower resolution.
