Topic: [Feature] have artists names in downloads, expanded

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Requested feature overview description.

I'd like to see this website be more like Rule34 and other websites, where when you download an image it has an actual file name instead of complete nonsense. Be it anything from the Artists name, maybe the character, maybe the franchise etc. but at the minimum i'd like to see artists credited for their artwork when its just in a folder. If it were up to me i'd have the files downloaded like this:
"Post ID_Franchise_Characters_Artists"
For unknown artists, just put unknownartist in the artist part.

Why would it be useful?

This would be useful because it would help people like me, who do huge downloads of specific characters but likes to have all an artists works together, and it would also credit the artists even further by having their name in file itself, so you'd have to actively remove it to hide their name. This would basically help everyone,. It'd save people like me time because we wouldn't have to name up to 10k images ourselves, and it would give artists even more credit than just their signature or logo.

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?

The only thing that would be affected by this is the file name, nothing on the actual website itself except some code that auto adds in a final name for every image. thats literally it, things would just be named correctly now. It would also probably take a while because it would have to a whole like, complete renaming of the millions of images on this website, and all those to come

Point of fact, it's not nonsense, it's an MD5 hash. Which can be useful.
