When i send a file using conversations messenger, file name changes to a random string.
Is there any way to preserve uploaded file names?
(I’m using http file upload.)
What type of file?
If an image/video, did you enable compression?
If an image, did you send via “attach image” or “attach file”?
Is that in an OMEMO encrypted chat or a non-encrypted chat?
Note that servers will see the filename, even for an encrypted chat, maybe it’s not a good ideea to have user aaaaa@server connecting from IP:x.x.x.x upload a file named paris_heist_plan_2025rev5.pdf… Just saying…
I’m running a self-hosted Prosody server and have noticed this issue when sending .docx files in OMEMO-encrypted chats.
Currently, when the recipient downloads the file, the original filename is not preserved. It would be helpful if the file could be retrieved with its original name intact.
