 * Hi,
 * I use this plugin and try to add a custom column (‘Description’).
    I manage the
   metadata to “database” because I don’t want to change my filename.
 * But it’s not working…. Actually, when I add a file, physically it’s something
   like “nameofmyfile[mydescription].zip”.
 * Don’t understand why.
    Here my shortcode :
 * [fileup base=”3″ makedir=”true” matchdrawer=”1″ uploadlabel=”Télécharger” fadein
   =”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ uploader=”name” showto=”administrator,editor,author”
   theme=”silver-bullet” maxsize=”500″]
    [fileaway type=”table” base=”3″ searchlabel
   =”Rechercher” filenamelabel=”Documents” customdata=”Description” metadata=”database”
   fadein=”opacity” fadetime=”1500″ directories=”on” manager=”on” drawerid=”1″ drawerlabel
   =”Fichiers” showto=”administrator,editor,author” theme=”silver-bullet” textalign
   =”left” ]
 * Thanks for any help.
    My page is used by several clients of my company by now,
   and it’s not good that our files are rename with [description] in it.
 * Best regards,
    RL

 * This is being done when you upload the files, or when you use the “Rename” function
   in Manager Mode?
 * Try removing `uploader="name"` from the [fileup] shortcode to see if that’s causing
   the issue.

 * Yes, it’s when I upload a file.
 * I remove uploader=”name” and it’s working know ! I try after upload the rename
   function, and it add the description as asked and not in the filename.
 * Thanks very much 🙂
 * Best regards
