[Solved] How To Preserve Filename or File Extension in Product Attachment?

[alchemisto]

I found this is a little bit buggy since every file I attached into a product will have no extension. For example, I attached a PDF file into a product but after I downloaded this attached file, it will be no .pdf extension, just the filename.

Is there any solution to this issue?

I hope someone could help me.

what is the name of the file you upload, try one without spaces, I must admit that I haven't worked with file downloads before but I will take a look if you report that the problem is also with any file (with the filename that doesn't contain spaces)

Now I got it.
To preserve the file extension, we should include the extension into the Title. For example, if we attach a PDF file, then the attachment title should have a .pdf extension, not merely a title name.
It doesn't matter the file of the title contains space or not, as long as it has an extension.
Case closed.

That solution does not work in 1.4.9.

 

Is there a new solution for this problem?

old but here is a solution for 1.6:

 

Change the file -> admin/themes/default/template/controllers/products/associations.tpl

 

Search <option value="{$attach.id_attachment}">{$attach.name}</option>

and change $attach.name to $attach.file_name
