Description Austin Riddle CLA 2011-09-20 10:03:32 EDT 
The file upload handler does not return the actual file name, but rather appends a hash to it before the file extension.

Instead, if the file hash (which is there to prevent conflicts) is used to create an additional path entry, then the file can have the same name as what the user selected. Then the fileupload consumers would not have to do string manipulation to determine the filename.

+1
Creating unique directories and keeping the file names intact seems reasonable to me.
Comment 3 Ivan Furnadjiev CLA 2011-09-20 11:30:12 EDT 
+1 Sounds good to me too.
