Default Replacing a file in ReaStash

I'm trying to replace a file with the updated file, but for some reason, it never seems to replace, even though it says "file updated"

I'm trying to replace this,

https://stash.reaper.fm/v/29292/ReaNo...p.ReaperKeyMap

with this,

https://stash.reaper.fm/v/30768/ReaNo...eaperConfigZip

It works here. I don't know why you can't replace it.

My 2cts with the stash are that you can replace an existing file by another one (rename it in the stash and replace it), it will then be shown with the new name BUT the downloaded file will still be downloaded with the original name.
So I think twice what name I use for the upload...

One workaround is to delete the original upload and make a totally new one and then modify the links in the forum accordingly, if there are any.

Ah, so maybe my file is being replaced, it's just keeping the same old name?

Ok, so changing names of the file is impossible. I guess that leaves 2 possibilities.

1 - Upload a new file every time I update the file.

2 - Use a new single name without a version number, put the version number into a text file inside the file, and write the current version in the file description, so that people can determine whether they're using the newest version.


I guess number 2 sounds best.

I would prefer your solution #2. In your case I would make a normal Zip-File that includes whatever you want and call it s.th. like "Mr.PC ReaNote". In the description in the stash I would tell the user that it has to be unpacked and a changelog.
Another way could be to include the complete folder in the Zip, if there are more than one file included.

In your thread "Notation Sibelius Action List" you can then keep the link to the stash and don't need to correct it everytime you upload an update. Click my signature for an example if you want.
A little tip for this: copy the URL from the "HTML/Forum Codes" field in the stash to your clipboard (Right-click and "copy"). If you then edit your thread, you can choose "Insert Link" and paste it. Click ok and after that a part of the URL is marked in blue. This can be the text that is shown in the thread as a hyperlink.
If you right-click the "Download" button in the stash and copy that as URL, the download starts immediately without making the detour to the stash.

Not what you exactly asked for, but...just to tell.
