Your question is not understandable. Please elaborate it and make an example.

Yenthe Van Ginneken (Mainframe Monkey)

@Ermin: He has uploaded an attachment but when he downloads it again it has the file extension .bin. He's wondering why that is happening and how he can fix it because he wants the original filename to be saved ;) @shaneebkan: Is this is a many2many, one2many or simply by uploading an attachment under 'more'? I know I saw some pull request a few days ago to fix this.

Dear Shaneebkhan,

You should add a field for filename and use it in the filename attribute of the binary field. You can keep this field visible or invisible as per your requirement. The following is the code example for the

class your_class(osv.Model):

_name = "yourclassname"

_description = "yourclassdescription"

_columns = {

'binary_field':fields.binary('Your binary field'),

'filename':fields.char('Filename'),

}

And in the form view in your xml:

<field name="filename" readonly="1" invisible="1"/>

<field name="binary_field" readonly="1" filename="filename"/>

I hope this helps for you.

Thanks & Regards,

Ankit H Gandhi.
