Game Extras filenames
 
Hello,

I have noticed that quite a few games have their Extra materials often with (supposedly) generated filename, like "23404_game_extra_1.pdf". It would be little more user friendly if it contained at least the name of the game it belongs to. A small improvement, true, but improvement nevertheless.

Thanks for this wonderful site.

It's a relic of the earliest days of the current system we're using.
We'd like to fix them one of these days - but there's a but, isn't there?
There only way we could do that is deleting those files and reuploading them from scratch all over again. :(

Thanks for explanation.
Since I have no idea about backend used, I thought, with the number being possibly some game ID within the system, there might be a chance for "search and replace" automation. Time will sort it out anyway (another system migration, new review with reupload or whatever), so I will just fall silent again and continue browsing the archive...;)

Best Wishes.

i think it'd be too much of hassle for too little gain (but i'm not competent)
