Optional adoption of the original file name of the photo
What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?
It would be nice if the original file name could be used optionally (as a supplement). I have a large archive of photos that I would like to publish at a later date in the future.
How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?
It is therefore very important to me that I can later distinguish between photos that have already been published and files that are still to be published. That is the reason why I would like to have an additional option to prefix the original name of the image file.
Who will benefit from it?
all users
Anything else you would like to add?
(I currently help myself by determining the original file name and copy/paste it in front. But that is quite cumbersome)
Hi @OpenGreenStreet ,
I am in the same situation, with around 50,000 good pictures left to upload.
I use the custom picker to determine whether a picture has been uploaded already or not, is it the safest and easiest, and also reasonably fast.
It uses checksums to check for server-side presence, this is more reliable than filenames which may not be unique.
Hi @nicolas-raoul ,
Thank you for your feedback. That is of course a good option. At the same time, I have noticed that the checksums generated by the Upload Wizard are different from those generated by the Commons app. (But I could be wrong). A second thing is that I use a prefix that allows me (so far) to quickly search for my own images on Commons.

Do you mean you upload a picture via the Commons app, or via the website, but the app's custom picker shows it as not uploaded yet? If so, would you mind providing steps to reproduce the issue? Thanks! :-)

Would you mind creating a separate bugs for this?
If possible, please insert an explanation for each step. Thanks!
@nicolas-raoul , I have tried it. Is that enough?
