svencich Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Site URL: https://www.svencichowicz.com Dear forum, I am running Marta (Brine family) and I know that there is a feature, where I can edit the filename of an image after uploading it, just by clicking on it and selecting "Edit". That is quite useful. Well, the same procedure doesn't seem to work as soon as you've uploaded the image to a gallery page. You can click "edit" and you can click on "settings" - but in both menus there is no option like "file name" to rename the image. Can you give me a hint? 🙏 Cheers Sven Edited August 9, 2021 by svencich Link to comment

Solution Oukside Posted April 19 Solution Share Posted April 19 It seems not possibile to change file name in Squarespace. When you upload an image, it’s uploaded inside a CDN (sort of) with a different name - you can see if you go on the website front end and download your image directly from your page. You cannot edit image name. If you want to “edit” it, you have to download your image (via Asset library or directly front end), edit name locally, then upload the image with the new name. But warning: if you want to have the image with the new name on the page(s) in which there is the image with the old name, you have to edit the page to re-assign the new uploaded image. I hope Squarespace will change this. It’s useful (it is how this should be) to allow to edit file names or, in general, override an image from asset library to change it in every page it’s used.

Meeeee Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I'm fairly shocked that this hasnt' been addressed in many years. Having a robust ability to change the filename without having to replace images -- potentially hundreds of images on a site -- would be incredibly tedious. Access to CDN dashboard to do basic things I think is way better than in-website photo editor for example -- which there are hundreds of apps for. But this situation needs help from Squarespace directly and there's no work-around that's efficient time. When the connection is there, just the name needs to change. Especially tedious in galleries. HELP SQUARESPACE!! Take a page out of Vimeo who has robust file naming and editing inside the app. I'd love a database "dashboard view" which would be even more efficient in renaming a bunch at a time like Shopify does -- if we can dream, I mean! grolez 1 Link to comment
