disable autogenerated download url

[Frederik Berlaen]

Hi All

I have an app with sphinx documentation and lately (I dont remember which sphinx version) the programmicatally generated download_reference nodes url are converted to a random url

fe http://www.drawbot.com/_downloads/0b5a4fd90d4023664436b2fb0774e1eb/example_imageObject.png

I dont know what is generating the 0b5a4fd90d4023664436b2fb0774e1eb part in the _download folder, but I would like to remove that

This was different in older version of sphinx

the conf.py can be viewed here https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/blob/master/docs/conf.py

thanks

Hi Frederik. I have exactly the same issue with my downloads. They are all getting put in a separate autogenerated directory in _downloads:

_downloads/<autogeneratedkey>/myfile.pdf.

The autogenerated key is consistent between builds (and even versions of my docs) so I think it might be generated from the file name.

Did you find a solution?
Regards

Sharon
