Question

1. Is there any way to have the "Attach" form upload a file with a name different from the local filename? Could this be done with a different attachment form?
2. Is there any way to rename an attachment w/o having to upload it again (after renaming it on the local machine)?
3. Is it possible to have several files uploaded in one go? I am thinking of a form which presents a (prestructured) table
   • asks for several local files to be named (Browse)
   • allows additional text to be edited into other table fields
   • after upload presents the table with links to the uploaded files in the correct places

It should also either

• • warn/barf if the filename already exists, or
  • be able to auto-generate unique filenames for the uploaded files to avoid clashes. Optional displaytext could be user-provided if the generated filenames are deemed to be too obscure

Any hints/pointers how to go about this would be appreciated.
