It's a good idea. Does it make sense to have filename --> filepath
mapping as part of the file API? I would certainly say that that should
be part of the information stored (i.e. there is a column for "name" in
the table), but it would be up to modules to implement this.

With this patch, you can rename your file uploads. Normally, only the
file name shows up. This adds an additional input field to supply a
title for the file that is displayed instead.

Made a better patch in the correct format. But, this is a good patch.
DEF helps to be able to "describe" your file via a label instead of via
the filename. I hope this gets to head soon. It's the little things that
matter. :). I also made the label size larger, from 128 to 255.

Hi,


please read http://drupal.org/node/22568 for how to submit patches. 


But besides that, I do not think this feature will make it into drupal.
The current upload system is aimed at simplicity. If you need a differnt
name, you should rename it locally, or use a contributed file managing
module. But that is just my opinion. Others might like it!
