Why are all my images renamed to random number string

Ask a Question

Is NicePage going to be the same dragon as Themler?

Why oh why does it rename images to use a random number string? Why not leave images named the way they are?

This makes it a complete nightmare when it comes to management and means using a thumbnail view in explorer to see exactly what images are where and what NicePage has renamed them to.

Please let's not try being clever...if I name an image one way I'd like it left that way not for a piece of software to randomly rename it.

Hi Chae,

Actually we work with the images not in such simple way. The uploaded image is being processed with the several modifications on the road.
But I have asked our developers to look into this behavior once again and see if they could change the way images are processed in the application.

Sincerely,
Hella

Surely you can still process the images in whatever way you want but not change the file name? Keep the designers file naming the same :)

Hi Chae,

Our managers have discussed this option yeasterday and they have decided to leave the images names as they are and only add numbers in the end if the image name already exists in the project. This solution is already implemented in the desktop version and also will be included in the online editor and plug-ins in the next update.

So doing so also reduces SEO optimisation as designers the names we assign images no longer stick due to this silly naming convention.

Hi Chae,

Now images naming is fine and that should be good for SEO.

Hi Chae,

Just a follow up. Looks like I have missed the update date. The fix will be included in the next release and also that will affect only newly added images.

Hi Chae,

That update was more like a hotfix update and this new functionality was not included. But it will be in the next updates, we are completing the testing on our side.

Hi Chae,

Just wanted to let you know, that yesterdays desktop update included the fix for the images names. But please remember that the names will be kept for the newly uploaded images only.

I always download the latest version and it seems to me that the issue of having numbers added to the image name has not yet been resolved. Am I wrong here?

It seems to me that even if you delete them, it knows they were already there as it continues to rename by adding a number to filename.

Hi,

Did you remove the image directly in the editor or in My Images dialog?
Does the issue happen if you upload a new image?

I removed it from the page i was working on, removed it from my local images folder and from the server images folder, and then created a new photo with the same name. If I upload a new image with a name that has not been used it is fine. Any time I upload an image for the second or third time (SEO reasons) it adds -1, -2, -3 etc.

Do you mean images with the same name? If so, this ps proper behavior. You cannot have a few images with the same name. If you want to use the same image please load the image from the "My Images" tab.
