I have recently been uploading PDF files of academic presentations (to this topic on seasonal climate forecasting as it happens). The file naming convention I utilize is: 0000-leadauthor-[etal-]title-title-title.pdf So far so good. Until I discover I that I have a lead author’s name wrong. But…

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Not being familiar with ruby, but that also looks like 0 means 1. Maybe the parameter tip should also read: “A value of 0 is interpreted as 1.” or something similar. Particularly as zero often has the special meaning of disable in other circumstances. Thanks @neounix .

I think what you want to do is update the upload record at the rails console, if you’re self hosted. I doubt there’s a way to do that with the API, but haven’t looked

We are self-hosted. I have been offered shell account access, but have not followed that up. Tx for the hint.

Wait. I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to do. Is it to change the name people see in the posts in which they’re uploaded? If that’s the case, then maybe you want to do something like rake posts:remap["old-name.pdf","newname.pdf"] As described in Replace a string in all posts . I think that for…

Not what I was trying to do. The leadauthor string was part of the file name. Nothing more. But when I revised the file name (because my understand of the family naming conventions for Spanish academics is severely limited) and tried to upload the renamed file, discourse noticed that it had an id…

Where do you see the “filename”? The actual filename in the filesystem is a random string.

After testing in my instance, you can change the filename on [filename.pdf|attachment](upload://filehash.pdf) and, while it shows the filename.pdf on the post, it still downloads as the original filename. I guess it’s the same thing he wants: to rename the filename used when downloading it. Not rea…

Oh. Ok. So the three lines of rails code do what you want. It doesn’t change what you see in posts, but if you click the file it saves with the “better-name.pdf”.

Oh. Ok. Quindi le tre righe di codice Rails fanno ciò che desideri. Non cambiano ciò che vedi nei post, ma se fai clic sul file, viene salvato con il nome “better-name.pdf”.
