[Myexperiment-discuss] Download filenames and _12345.xml

[Stuart Owen]

Hi,
   I noticed today that when I download a workflow it has a magic 
number appended to it, e.g. 
example_of_a_conditional_execution_workflow_7882.xml . This seems to be 
to avoid a clash between files with the same name, but can be overcome 
by storing the original filename and setting it when initiating the 
download, e.g:

send_data <data>, :filename => @workflow.original_filename, 
:content_type => <content_type>, :disposition => 'attachment'

Its particularly annoying when downloading a pack, as every file in the 
pack is renamed to append the _12345.xml . In my case I wish to reuse 
the files outside of myExperiment and have needed to manually rename 
each individual file back to its original.

Why not use the original name, and only append the magic number if a 
clash actually occurs ?

regards,
Stuart.
