So we’ve had a couple of internal complaints about the fact that the image download name is the sha1 representation and not the actual name of the image (which is available, because you see it in the lightbox). It seems the “actual” name is stored in the metadata of the image.

Is the team open to a PR that retrieves that name and uses it for the download?
