Format for file names

 

I am new to Groups.io, so apologies in advance for what may be a stupid question.

When I upload a file to my group, instead of displaying just the file name, the file name includes the path all the way back to my C drive where the file is stored. It makes it hard to identify files in a list of files. Is this normal? How to fix?

Thanks.

Hey Jerry,

I just did a test and I am not seeing what you're seeing - see below.聽 Can you do a screen shot and post it?

Thx!

Hi

I just double-checked what I do and here's what I found.
On my Mac computer, it will show the suffix but only that.
However, I can edit the file name that is displayed after the file is uploaded. Click on the update icon beside the name and edit and click update, include taking out the .pdf or .pages

I don't know why it initially displays the full path when you do it though. Possibly your computer setup?

Jerry, I would edit the names when I create the PDF. (Might be different with your OS.)
However, you can edit the names now - yes, tedious with so many, but doable.
Use the Update icon beside each file.

Good info, thanks.聽 I did not realize that you could edit a file name this way.聽 It does work on my setup.聽 But it would be burdensome if you had to change each file name after you uploaded the file, especially if you were uploading a bunch of files at one time.聽 I would think there is something in the group settings that might affect the way this is handled (I am the group owner), but if it's there I can't find it.

Jerry -- That is really weird. I've never seen anything like that.

What browser are you using? Any add-ons that might affect this?

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽IE11, plain vanilla setup on Windows 8.1, nothing exotic.聽 Yes, I know, no one should still be using IE, or Win 8.1 for that matter, but that's where I am.聽 I move files all over the place, all the time, and I've never encountered a聽 file naming problem before (including in Yahoogroups).

There is also an IE option under:
  • Internet Options
  • Security tab
  • In "Internet" or "Intranet" click on Custom Level
  • In the Security Settings scroll down until you see 鈥淚nclude local directory path when uploading files to a server鈥� and disable it.
  • Click OK on Internet Options window and refresh.
 

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Excellent, that solved the problem.聽 Go to Internet Options, Security, Custom Level, and disable 揑nclude local directory path when uploading files to a server.斅� Hopefully this doesn't create another problem someplace else.

Jerry, when you uploaded the files, did you enter that full address in the file
name box, or did you use the browse button and just pick out the file you
wanted to upload. If the former, that could possibly explain what you're seeing
(not sure - never done it that way).
