Hi Anthony, Please, don't cross-post a single question to multiple lists. Choose one that is appropriate and only try another one if you don't receive an answer in about a week. See the etiquette link below. There is no way to control the bitstream filenames. However, you can look up the original names in the database. In the "bitstream" table, the value in the “internal_id" column corresponds to the filename in assetstore. The original filename is in the "name" column. Moreover, because a large number of files ina single directory can cause performance problems on most filesystems, the assesstore is divided up by the first few characters of the filename. So dor example all filenames starting with 123456 would be stored in the [assetstore]/12/34/56/ directory. That's really all there is to it.
