Predicting need to rename obscurely named documents
Embodiments generally relate to file names. In some embodiments, a method includes reading a file name of a file associated with a download operation. The method further includes generating a readability score associated with the file name based at least in part on a combination of characters in the file name. The method further includes comparing the readability score to a predetermined readability threshold. The method further includes generating a user alert if the readability score falls below the predetermined readability threshold. The method further includes enabling a user to change the file name to be readable to the user.
1. A system comprising:
at least one processor and a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
reading a file name of a file associated with a download operation;
generating a readability score associated with the file name based at least in part on a combination of characters in the file name;
comparing the readability score to a predetermined readability threshold;
generating a user alert if the readability score falls below the predetermined readability threshold; and
enabling a user to change the file name to be readable to the user.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs before the file is saved to a local file system.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs after the file is saved to a local file system.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising comparing the combination of characters in the file name to words of a predetermined natural language.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising:
identifying one or more character pairs in the combination of characters in the file name; and
generating the readability score based on the one or more character pairs.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising adjusting the predetermined readability threshold over time in order to match a user tolerance to obscure names.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising:
tracking a frequency of file name changes associated with a plurality of download operations, wherein the file associated with the download operation is among a plurality of files associated with the plurality of download operations; and
adjusting the predetermined readability threshold based at least in part on the frequency of file name changes.
8. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
reading a file name of a file associated with a download operation;
generating a readability score associated with the file name based at least in part on a combination of characters in the file name;
comparing the readability score to a predetermined readability threshold;
generating a user alert if the readability score falls below the predetermined readability threshold; and
enabling a user to change the file name to be readable to the user.
9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs before the file is saved to a local file system.
10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs after the file is saved to a local file system.
11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising comparing the combination of characters in the file name to words of a predetermined natural language.
12. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising:
identifying one or more character pairs in the combination of characters in the file name; and
generating the readability score based on the one or more character pairs.
13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising adjusting the predetermined readability threshold over time in order to match a user tolerance to obscure names.
14. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor further performs operations comprising:
tracking a frequency of file name changes associated with a plurality of download operations, wherein the file associated with the download operation is among a plurality of files associated with the plurality of download operations; and
adjusting the predetermined readability threshold based at least in part on the frequency of file name changes.
15. A computer-implemented method for predicting a need to rename obscurely named documents, the method comprising:
reading a file name of a file associated with a download operation;
generating a readability score associated with the file name based at least in part on a combination of characters in the file name;
comparing the readability score to a predetermined readability threshold;
generating a user alert if the readability score falls below the predetermined readability threshold; and
enabling a user to change the file name to be readable to the user.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs before the file is saved to a local file system.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the generating of the readability score occurs after the file is saved to a local file system.
18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising comparing the combination of characters in the file name to words of a predetermined natural language.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
identifying one or more character pairs in the combination of characters in the file name; and
generating the readability score based on the one or more character pairs.
20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising adjusting the predetermined readability threshold over time in order to match a user tolerance to obscure names.
