Why is uploaded file renamed when saved on server

[kafran]

I have a general question about uploaded files. For example, when I upload a file named invoice.pdf, it is renamed 1.pdf once it reaches the server disk drive.

Any particular reason? I'd really like to preserve the filename if possible. Is there a way to do this?

There is a simple reason for it. Any DMS needs a structured way to save the documents. Something, the software can rely on. That's way letodms creates a directory for each document and puts any version of a document into a file named <version>.<filetype>

If a file invoice.pdf was saved under the same name, how would you call a new version of that file with the same name?

BTW, letodms keeps the original file name in the database.

Steinm,

It would be nice to rename the file name in the database =)
