AY-6315_Ftrack: keep the original component name for media #132

Open ynbot opened 1 month ago

ynbot commented 1 month ago

Please describe the enhancement you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

there is a request to keep original name of the media in Ftrack when created using Publish process.

It is an Ftrack API requirement to name the media in specific way (hardcoded) but we should at least keep the original name as a custom attribute or provide a custom action to download the media with the original file name

How would you imagine the implementation of the enhancemenent?

It should be possible to create second component with different name, but pointing to same file. If that would not be possible, we would have to integrate the file twice, in that case we need settings for that, which are disabled by default as that can consume huge amount of ftrack disk space.

we should avoid duplicating the data so creating the second component should be the way to go . . .

So, I made some research and it seems like it is not possible. Only way how to do it is to upload the file twice. So the question is if the client really needs this functionality and is willing to have both files on ftrack storage.
