@ -45,19 +45,25 @@ you name the file right, it'll automatically set some values in the database
for you. This is is the logic the consumer follows:
1. Try to find the correspondent, title, and tags in the file name following
the pattern: ``Date - Correspondent - Title - tag,tag,tag.pdf``. Note that
the format of the date is **rigidly defined** as ``YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ``. The
``Z`` is for "Zulu time" AKA "UTC".
2. If that doesn't work, we skip the date and try this pattern:
the pattern: ``Correspondent - Title - tag,tag,tag.pdf``.
2. If that doesn't work, try to find the correspondent and title in the file
3. If that doesn't work, we try to find the correspondent and title in the file
name following the pattern: ``Correspondent - Title.pdf``.
3. If that doesn't work, just assume that the name of the file is the title.
4. If that doesn't work, just assume that the name of the file is the title.
So given the above, the following examples would work as you'd expect:
* ``20150314000700Z - Some Company Name - Invoice 2016-01-01 - money,invoices.pdf``
* ``Some Company Name - Invoice 2016-01-01 - money,invoices.pdf``
* ``Another Company - Letter of Reference.jpg``
* ``Dad's Recipe for Pancakes.png``
These however wouldn't work:
* ``2015-03-14 00:07:00 UTC - Some Company Name, Invoice 2016-01-01, money, invoices.pdf``
* ``Some Company Name, Invoice 2016-01-01, money, invoices.pdf``
* ``Another Company- Letter of Reference.jpg``
