Download filename patterns have been changed without warning and without option from an underscore (_) to a hyphen (-) and changing the configuration settings doesn't change this behaviour.
This means filenames can't be reliably delimited because hyphens are found in multiple positions in document numbers, whereas underscores are less often found and where they occur, are usually in a fixed position.
Also, hyphens are commonly found in Descriptions.
We had a routine to use the hyphens in VP download filenames to delimit the fields of information contained on either side - but this is now impossible since there is a mixture of delimiting hyphens and hyphens in the Name (Number) or Description (Title).
Can it be changed back please and offered as an option in the configuration settings which don't change without warning and are under the power of the user or Project/System Admin.
