How to force TYPO3 to use meaningful names for generated images

When you work with generated images in TYPO3 you will often run into the problem of the naming used by TYPO3 for these files. The names of the files are usually a not very meaningful string (in fact an md5 hash).

You can force TYPO3 to leave the file names alone and use the original name of the file. To do this issue the following configuration directive:



where

 [int] 

is a number that signifies how many characters from the file name are kept.
