Microsoft Teams continues to reveal its true nature as a billion sprint goals in a trenchcoat:

When you attach an image to a post, it's saved at the top of the Sharepoint folder belonging to the channel. (So the "files" tab becomes a cluttered mess, but that's not what I'm cross about now)

As well as restrictions on valid filenames, filenames of attachments have to be unique.

So if you've attached drawing.png once before, and upload another drawing.png, Teams asks if you want to replace the original, or keep both. If you keep both, it adds (1) to the filename.

... unless there's already a "drawing (1).png", in which case it asks you AGAIN what you want to do.

Is there a Big Brain Cloud Services reason it can't automatically find the smallest number that works?

pozorvlak,

@christianp I love the term "billion sprint goals in a trenchcoat" - I assume by it you mean "lots and lots of ad-hoc features slapped together one at a time with no thought to coherent design"?

@pozorvlak indeed

@pozorvlak but also, if there was a coherent design, they didn't have time to follow it

@christianp If it asks you again does it make 'drawing (2).png' or 'drawing (1) (1).png'?

@OscarCunningham it at least does "drawing (2).png"

Of course what it should do is drawing (1,(1)).png ...
