How to mount without id file tag?

[radebla]

Hi all!

Thank you so much for your program and code, it is excellent.

When I mount a group or a chat I'd like view files without id file tag --->123_filename.ext ; I want ---> filename.ext

I'm still diving on the code and don't find the way to delete it, change it or move the id file tag to an other position like ---> filename_123.ext

Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance!

this is a great example why #4 is a good idea

Hi! Yes I watched this post, but doesn't work for me, maybe I dont use correct format:

tgmount --format '{msgid}{filename}' mount ............. /mnt/.........
usage: tgmount [-h] [--session SESSION] [--tgapp TGAPP] [--debug] [--debug-fs-ops] [--use-ipv6]
{mount-config,mount,validate,download,list} ...
tgmount: error: argument command: invalid choice: '{msgid}{filename}' (choose from 'mount-config', 'mount', 'validate', 'download', 'list')

Where I should write this argument correctly? Thanks in advance.

Hi! Apologies for the delayed response. If you remove the leading message id, there is a high possibility of file names collisions: documents with identical file names may appear in a chat more than once. Additionally, some documents do not have specific file names and are assigned generic names like photo.jpeg, video.mp4 or document.

To address this, we could have used a prefixed name for a repeating file name, such as:

archive.zip, 2_archive.zip, 3_archive.zip

However, if second message is removed, the file names would become:
archive.zip, 3_archive.zip

After tgmount restarted this will turn into:
archive.zip, 2_archive.zip

Therefore, this requires saving the mapping message -> filename for every folder in the mount point to make file names consistent between restarts. Too much additional functionality to just remove the leading message id... Gotta think how to handle multipart archives though.

file names are defined in this file, but tgmount internals expect file names to be unique so far

Thank you so much for your response.

Yep, I understand everything, but for my case, it is mandatory that the file names hasn't have a prefixed name to do a library can read from mount group. So I can been careful to the files inside of group to do this application.

I'll try your changes for my application.

Kind regards.

@radebla,
Hello I'm in the same situation, have you found a way to mount media without MessageID?
