Bug: Rename Partially Handles Uploaded JPG FIles

If a web topic called SomeTopic exists and there are attachments named SomeTopic.jpg, then if you rename SomeTopic to SomeNewTopic, the references to SomeTopic.jpg get changed to SomeNewTopic.jpg, but the .jpg files are not renamed.

This may be a case of a poor choice of names for the .jpg files, but it was very handy. I had a topic called ScreenShots, uploaded a bunch of screen images to the ScreenShots topic, and referenced the images in various topics of my application tutorial. All the .jpg names match the topics names where they are referenced.

I will probably continue to do this as there doesn't appear to be a way to rename uploaded files; renaming the .jpg files manually is easier than deleting and reloading them.

RenamingAttachments gets discussed now, but should a topic renaming also have an affect on attachments?

In my opinion it does make sense. Filenames having the same name as a topic are obviously related to that topic (and its name) and should therefore also be renamed when a topic gets renamed.

If this is not the case you have the option to disable the renaming in the topicrename-dialog.
