Hi Carl, thanks for checking. This is a huge bummer, i only wish i noticed it sooner. What’s really sad is I don’t even think i can see a way to capture the original file name and store it. I think this kind of asset modification is pretty aggressive and unnecessary on Knack’s part. I’m surprised I didn’t see more posts about it.
I came across this post about multiple uploads and the different ways people got around it. Most were through code but on this one the user went out to jotform for an upload form. Got me thinking that there might be a possibility to use a third party upload form that could zip the file(s) before storage at Knack. Then when I archive the files over at dropbox they could get unzipped.
I’m definitely feeling defeated though and really bummed I have to report back to my client that I’ve hit a brick wall.
