Duplicate file names with attachments

[Todd Freese]

Does CBL (iOS) store attachments with their original file name? And does it store them in a single directory?

Can I have multiple attachments with the same file name across different documents without having to make sure the file names are unique? For example, doc 1 as a file attachment named "picture.jpg" and document 2 has a different picture named "picture.jpg"

I am using SG with a Couchbase backing store.

No, and Yes. It stores them in a single directory, named after their SHA-1 digests. So if you have multiple attachments with the same data, the data’s only stored once.

Yes, no problem. The filename is just part of the metadata associated with the attachment in the document. CBL doesn’t really care what it is.
