Re: Changing the file name prefix in an install of Wacintaki 1.2.6

It can't be changed in the control panel after the board has been installed.

I've been debating whether it's a good idea or not to add a prefix changer to the board.  It's generally not a good idea to rename a massive number of files on a website that depend on a config file setting.  There's really no failsafe way to do it.

I'm working on a hack, though.  I doubt it'll make it into the board.

A possible hack that only gives new files the new prefix would be good enough.  Personally I don't need the old files renamed.  I wonder if the files with the new prefix would start their file name numbering over or continue from the old prefix's file name numbering. 

Would such a hack be compatable with the latest install of Wacintaki as well?  Or would installing the new version help in anyway?  (Of course when installing a new version, I can change the prefix then.)  I can just install that on the weekend probably.

Thanks
