attachment name

Hi,

Any idea why the attachment will show incorrectly, i.e. not matching the actual filename? For example, the attachment shows as "PDF" or "Full Text PDF"; however, the file has a different name. If the option "Rename File from Parent metadata" is used, the attachment file is renamed, but it still shows incorrectly.

It looks like a bug, but if so, it's been around for a long time.

Thanks, Marinho.

"PDF" or "Full Text PDF" are attachment titles, different from the filename:

You can see both the attachment title and the filename in the item pane of the attachment.

Understood, thank you for the clarification.

Actually, my motivation was to ensure that all attachments were properly named following the convention.
