Downloaded file names

Hey all - files downloaded from Discourse show ‘GUID’ style file names today- anyone else seeing that?

Yes same here. :thinking:

Yes, annoying.

@discourse , the new behaviour to save files with hashed names is very annoying, pretty much useless. Is this a bug, or something controlled by Discourse settings? A fix for this is highly appreciated.

Hi @nathanletwory,

We are tracking this issue on Meta here:

Hi Nathan,

Just wanted to let you know that this issue has been fixed now.

Thanks, downloading files is a treat again.

this started happening to me again on this forum from the early morning of January 8 (and it’s still ongoing as for 5 minutes ago)

uploaded random file name: INNO_2.gh (random file from this forum)

INNO_2.gh (64.2 KB)

downloaded very same file, its name is: 38393ff5f8a5662bdec959997f64b1d20087feff.gh
