Files Renamed

I have noticed that all of your files have been renamed.  For example this file was origionally hyperballaddiary33M. It is now f1171-36m.
This presents a major problem for me and I imagine for others. The reason why is this: if you have files that have the old name and you download a file today, it has a new name and as a result you wind up with duplications. You are never able to determine what files you have or don't have because the naming has been changed. Can anything be done about this? Thanks.

Re: Files Renamed

There are already other threads about this.  It's on our to-do list but won't happen very soon.

Re: Files Renamed

I find the new (?) file naming scheme to be unintelligent and retrograding.  Your traditional file names were the same as your descriptive names, and that makes a connection that can be remembered and searchable since we have them available in the model's page.  I find this new (randomly-generated?) file naming to be horrible and I will be discontinuing my very long-term subscription if it is not returned to the traditional descriptive naming very soon.  If you don't "fix" this without delay, I'll be "outa here."

Have you even read the threads on this?

Just reverse whatever action you took to make this new file naming disaster.

Hmm...enjoy the hundreds of enticing performances that make this website truly special or take to the message board to make mindless comments?  I wouldn't think this would be a difficult choice.  Just manually rename the files for now.

You seem to be right on top of all the issues around site operations, do you want a job?
