Update image title during upload?

[aembytes]

We have users uploading images with spaces which we don't want considering SEO implications of spaces. what's the best approach to allowing users to upload an image with spaces but replacing spaces with "-" at rest?

Write a custom Servlet that will modify the asset name and use AssetManager API:

Anytime you want to perform logic on an uploaded Asset - write a sling servlet.

That's fine if I'm building new UI. We want to use OOB UI that is used by user to upload it but plug this step in between. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Chetan,

Pass the additional hidden parameter @TypeHint to control the node name generation [1].

Typehint updates the type but I want to be able to modify the file being uploaded before it's stored into the dam. My guess was if I update the Update Asset Workflow to include my own workflow step, i might work

Thoughts?

Hi Chetan,

      read the sling doc reference earlier on using typehint to change the filename uploded.  Or look into Out of the box rendition replace how it rename based on file name provided.     Update asset workflow will work but unnecessary adding burden to system also you need to handle an special workflow get stuck because you are changing the asset which is current payload.   I can just advise right way but choice is yours. 

Thanks,
