When downloading data using Data Download service (e.g. from an FME Workspace App), a Zip file is created containing the output files. The zip file is automatically named something that looks like “FME_4B425D3A_1772473610895_13172.zip”. 

It would be nice if an option was implemented to allow customizing that name to something that is more user friendly. For example allow authors to specify what exact name the Zip file should have, or allow the use of parameters to create a string to use as file name. 

Even if the final filename has to have some extra characters at the end like 4B425D3A_1772473610895_13172, giving authors some customization capability would be beneficial.

This is an oldie revisited, love to see it.  Some info that may help, if things haven’t changed too much! 

@takashi may want to weigh in on this.
