Hi,

I want to raise an issue with propose slide feature on data tracker.  Data tracker has the proposer set the file name.  For example a proposer can choose something like 'my-draft-is-better-than-theirs.pdf'  and the only way for the chair to manage this is to download the slides, rename the file, and then reupload.

I (again) request that chairs be able to rename the file as part of the approval process so that we don't have to do the download/rename/upload dance.  I have been told that renaming files goes against datatracker's 'historical reporting' strategy.  I'll note I'm not asking for renaming post approval and that what I'm asking for is already supported via a manual process (that I clearly find annoying).

I've opened a ticket on this feature (https://github.com/ietf-tools/datatracker/issues/10554) and am repeating it here in case other wish to add their support or disagree that this is worthwhile.

Thanks,

Lou
