Better default for gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files

[lekevicius]

Summary

Default for file URLs should be hash/filename.ext, not filename-hash.ext

Basic example

Currently the default is file.pdf -> file-ea0f4f14f1b991e92c681da93172497d.pdf.

It is set in this function:

const newFileName = linkNode =>
  `${linkNode.name}-${linkNode.internal.contentDigest}.${linkNode.extension}`

I suggest to make the default URL be:

const newFileName = linkNode =>
  `${linkNode.internal.contentDigest}/${linkNode.name}.${linkNode.extension}`

This would follow the general structure of gatsby-image paths, and make downloaded file name much nicer.

If default is not changed then at least this should be a customizable option, perhaps a function that could be passed.

Motivation

Currently, for every user downloading the file, filename is very long. In many cases the "hash" part is much longer than the actual file name. Default setting should be nicer.

I think that's good idea - we would possibly need to ensure that extra directory exists.

@lekevicius would you be interested in creating PR with this change?

Yeah this would be a good change. We made the same change for image paths.

The Kyle has spoken.

I'll try to make a PR this week.
