Retaining file extension in document name

Laserfiche
Updated September 7, 2023
asked on January 29, 2014

They have files in Windows folders with same name, but different extensions.  Like Sample.DOC, Sample.PDF, and Sample.TIF -  When they drag/drop into LF Client, they are renamed with (01) and (02) added to the 2nd and 3rd files.  Even though the extension is different.  Just to confirm - there is no way in LF to differentiate the file extension and save with the SAME NAME.  Am I correct on this??  Thanks-

There is a way to differentiate between file types while retaining the same name. All you have to do is check out the options menu; under Tools > Options > New Documents > General, there is an option to 'Retain file extensions in electronic document names'. Just check the box!

Hello Jason, I know it was long time ago for this topic, but about this option it is not working for me when importing documents from a .LST text file, it happen with Laserfiche Server 10.4 when using LF Client 9.2 and LF Client 10.4. I have checked the box as you indicated but importing always ignore file extension in document name. 
Is there any other action I could make in order to fix this issue?
