Hi Ralf, In general I think your suggestion is a good one. However, this may may not be as simple as it seems. Sometimes usernames can be very long and consist of special characters, e.g. when an email address or something that looks like an email address is the username. We've had it in the past, esp. with AAI usernames that they were incredibly long. Remember, a username can be up to 256 characters.
Since Mahara supports various authentication methods, the usernames can have different formats and a username from an IdP may not necessarily match an internal Mahara username if there are two authentication methods in play, esp. thinking about LTI. So while the Mahara username will be unique, it may still not (potentially only a minority of cases) match something that comes from an IdP across the board. To give an example from a multi-tenanted Mahara site: 1. Account was set up with internal auth at the start. The username is 'paula'. 2. An IdP was introduced and thus the remote username is now '[email protected]', but the username is still 'paula'. 3. Another account was already on an IdP and thus their username is 'https://aai-login.uni.ac/idp/saml!https://portfolio.site/saml!Tger68+hasdPGB='. 4. That account is switched to another institution where the remote username is now '[email protected]', but the internal username is still 'https://aai-login.uni.ac/idp/saml!https://portfolio.site/saml!Tger68+hasdPGB='. In Admin menu -> Groups -> Submissions you can download a CSV file that includes the full references to portfolios that have been submitted, including name, portfolio title, group to which it had been submitted, the archiving time, and the file path on where to find the portfolio on the server. Since portfolios can be submitted multiple times, this overview provides those details. Taking all of that into consideration, I'm not yet convinced that we should change the current file name convention in Mahara core, which doesn't preclude you from making a change on your site.

It would be better to replace userID by the unique username. Specially if institutionen use the export for archiving they can identify the export files better.
