Bulk Import Products and Download Files -> File Names

    We are getting ready to bulk import some products tp our site for the first time. I pulled an export from the current products we have in EDD to set up the .csv and I read through your guide here: https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/importing-exporting-products/

    My concern is this section from the link above (specifically the part in bold):

    Download Files This field can accept a valid web address of a file, an absolute path on a filesystem, or the bucket/filename.ext on an Amazon S3 instance.?Multiple files are?separated by the vertical bar like |. Note that file names can not be entered separately but will be automatically generated using the file’s name.

    When I add a download file on the backend of the website I see that the File Names are automatically generated via the file that we upload (for downloading) and I always have to remember to change them to our naming convention. It sounds like this will be the same when we upload the bulk products .csv

    We are uploading three different filetypes for each downloadable product. They all follow the same pattern and it fairly simple:

    1. We will upload the files in the same order every time (filename.dwg, filename.pdf, filename.rvt)
    2. We want the buttons for downloading (File Names) named the same every time (DWG, PDF, REVIT).

    Is there a way to upload the csv with a column that has DWG | PDF | REVIT in it for each product and have that populate the File Name?

    If not, is there a way via the database or via some sort of bulk editing to go in and change all the automatically generated File Names to fit our simple naming system?

    This seems like it should just be a field in the database related to the file url and we should be able to quickly reset the field to have the same value for everything.

    We just don’t want to have to go into each of the 100s if not 1000s of products we have and rename the three File Names over and over again.

    Can you help with this?
