Wrong author names in files after OJS 2.x to OJS 3 transition?

[alexxxmendonca]

I noticed that some files have the wrong author names in the file names:

Could this be a problem during data migration from OJS 2 to OJS 3?

We are using OJS 3.0.2

Hi @alexxxmendonca,

OJS 2.x didn’t track the user ID for all uploads, so the upgrade process attributes file uploads to a manager when you migrate to OJS 3.x. This is just informational – note that it doesn’t cause any problems for access control – the sidebar is where you define who has access, and that should be presented correctly. New content will have a default name according to the uploader.

Ok so from what I understood, yes it was placed as a “placeholder” but it shouldn’t be a problem (since it’s indeed possible to download files accordingly) and that new submissions will have the files named correctly.

Thanks!
