[Feature Request] More options for filename generation

Open tomas-chrastina opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

currently filename of uploaded file is generated as:

<timestamp>_<original_name>

This can be problem due to different name in e-mail and downloaded file. Also original filename is concatenated as suffix, which made it harder to find due to timestamp etc.

So it would be nice to have few more options to set a way, how filename would be generated:

  • use some pattern/tags to define uploaded filename, so I can define position of variable part, add my own identifier, ...
  • generate filename on client side, therefore also filename added to email will correspond (I'm not sure on what side name is generated, if it's client, it would be nice to have option to match filenames)
  • if no patter option would be added it would be nice to have some static options like
    • don't add timestamp (sure it can cause error, but I don't care, I can rename it on client side after error message) when exact filename is somehow must have
    • add timestamp as suffix
    • when uploading file to Nextcloud force it to generate name by itself (add counter) - I'm not sure how exactly you upload files in code, but standard web application works this way
    • ...

Thank you in advance for considering this.

-- Best regards, Tomas.
