Option for increment characters #531

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
- What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Other uploading programs such as puu.sh give you an increment character instead 
of a number. That way it would be possible to start with aaaa, go to aaab, 
(...), aaaA, (...), aaa9, (...), baaa, etc.

- What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
Multiple combinations, yet keeping the URL short.

I prefer to use %ra random alpha numeric for make long combinations. If your 
intention is making url less predictable. Otherwise you could have used %i 
which is more shorter?

I'm not looking for a way to make it less predicatable, I want to keep it as 
short as possible, yet no possibility to "overwrite" old images if you upload 
them to a FTP server. I'd suggest something like '%i<length>', giving you an 
"increment" string.
0-9, a-z, then A-Z, then the character before changes.

Forget to say so, the output I just simulated above would be set up as '%i4'

By the way using a-z and A-Z together won't be possible because Windows not 
allow to have both "Test.jpg" and "test.jpg" because not case sensitive.

Adding %i4 can be problematic because then how to actually write 4 near %i with 
this syntax because you can't escape characters. This was one of the reason why 
i not added number support for %ra (random alphanumeric) because %ra8 would be 
handy for me too.

I see the point for the a-z and A-Z, however, isn't it possible to create an 
escape character?

I'm not planning to add different syntax support to name parser because it can 
be complicated.
