Hi. Normally you don't need to somehow directly use URLs of media files (since they're supposed to be autogenerated). Rather that you should get an URL to a media file from its ID with library.GetMedia(...) and similar methods. If you need some static images e.g. to use in your CSS/layout etc then you'd better put them in a separate folder under fixed names you like and use them directly by their urls.
Umbraco puts media files in folders with number format. It makes inelegant media URLs
Hi,
I am new to Umbraco and I uploaded a few images to the Umbraco’s media.
The problem is that Umbraco uploads media files in folders with number format. It becomes difficult to guess the URLs and URLs become inelegant.
Is there any way to define the name of media folders that image files will reside?
Thank you,
