Renaming a file but on download it shows the file's key instead of it's name

Description:
So when i upload a file, i generate a random name using cuid2. After upload is completed, a UI pops up where you can rename the media. This works flawlessly as the new name is updated inside Uploadthing and Postgres. The issue is that when i download the media from the client UI, it shows the key instead of the name for the media.
But
There is one special case where something else happens. I have a tRPC procedure (/api/trpc/media.gmail) which gets a request from zapier and does it's own thing. Here's the catch. When this is procedure runs, it takes the subject from the header and set that as the file name. Now when i download the file from the client UI it shows the name correctly.
However
In both cases the updated name isn't reflected when i start a download on the client.GitHub

Uploadthing
After client presses the
download button
Js Task 3 is the original name
Js Task 3 Rename is the updated name, and this change isn't shown when a user downloads the file
For reference when i go to the url which i directly copied from the uploadthing dashboard, it still shows me the original / old file nameyea this has been a low hanging fruit I've been meaning to fix for a while, but just never got around to - surprised noone has brough it up before
lol.
i wanted to invest more into uploadthing so i was playing around
i guess for the time being ill figure smthing out. Its just passion projects for me rn
i can bump it up some priority levels now that someone actually reported it
Solution
got a PR up with a fix
i can't seem to find it
i can't find it on github but yes it all works flawlessly now
thanks
Infra isn’t open source
makes sense
@julius the renaming fix broke
example:
What’s the file key for that file?
HMj016y4l9GSIrbFEDpnORuUyJPDiFxNT23StqHVcvXWwB98
just for context i add a random name upon upload using cuid2
that name is being shown with addition of the "test_" keyword which i forgot to remove
wut
its a zip file
the app lets you zip multiple files together for sharing
this is me testing
I just went to utfs.io/f/HMj016y4l9GSIrbFEDpnORuUyJPDiFxNT23StqHVcvXWwB98
yes and u downloaded the file
the issue is the name of the file which u downloaded, the zip file
Oh right safari auto-decompresses
found the issue - bad merge reverted that chagne for s3 files :/
deploying fix
thank you
it's up
