Hi,

Is there any plan to support plain (not encoded) filename mode? This mode would be very useful when teams handle a lot of file. It is critical to us. If it takes time and cost, let me know by private message.

Thanks,
Takashi

Could you please explain more?

The filenames for project elements are taken from UID of the element.
Since UID is a binary data of 16 bytes, it must be converted into some filename-compatible form.

Most likely he means to ask is storing and handling the files in the traditional way like it was done in 1.0.

I'm afraid but I don't know it was done in 1.0...
I suppose that current UID base filename would have some advantage in EE.
However, in case of my team, plain (not UID based) filename is prefered.
The reasons are as below.

1. It's difficult to find a file in Windows' Explorer or MacOS's Finder.

2. When svn dectects conflict, it's hard to know which file caused conflict.

Therefore, UID based filenames mode is required for my team.
Is it possible to provide the mode in option?

Hi Takashi,

Thank you for the feature request, however:
-this task would take a very long time to make
-it's a complex task
-if implemented, then once a project element is renamed, or placed into another folder, then all existing references to it would be broken, unless asset path fixup functionality is included, however that is a slow operation for big projects

From my perspective it seems more sensible if I would develop my own SVN-like solution, that would work based on existing UID-encoded filenames, however that's a very long and complex task as well.

So for now I prefer to work on other tasks.

Thank you very much
