I have some doubts related to "Publish binaries in a package" default TBB referred in Default Finish Actions.

Created the Component Template and added default finish actions TBB in my CT.

CT Design contains below code:

<img src ="@Component.Id" alt="",title=""/>

After publishing the page image link resolved to below url:

<img src="/country/images/binarypoc.png" alt="" ,title="">

By default SDL Tridion appends the TCM URI to the filename to make it unique. But in this case image file name doesn't contains any tcm-id. Why is that?

It seems that you are using Razor Mediator for your templates. Razor Mediator have the capability to automatically add Binaries to to the Package

 <razor.mediator extractBinaries="true" adminUser="INSERT TRIDION USERNAME">

It seems that while Razor Mediator adds the Multimedia Components to the Package it populates the FileName property with the Multimedia Component File Name but it doesn't add a FileNameSuffix

Engine.AddBinary() is executed by the Publish Binaries In Package TBB. It will internally call to the Item.ConstructFileName() which will concatenate Item.Properties["FileName"] and Item.Properties["FileNameSuffix"]

If Item.Properties["FileNameSuffix"] is not populated then you will only get the File Name

If you want the TCMURI as a FileNameSuffix the you will need to add a new TBB that look for all the Multimedia Components in the Package and populates that property

    There is an existing open source TBB which does this - check out the Force Unique Binary Filenames TBB in sdltridionworld.com/community/2011_extensions/… – Will Price Sep 25 '14 at 12:10
  • yes...we are using Razor Mediator for our templates...also I agree with your answer.. – tridion_user999 Sep 25 '14 at 12:21
  • I have one more question...in case of DWT Templates will it append tcm-id to the filename? – tridion_user999 Sep 25 '14 at 12:38

    The TBB mentioned by Will in his comment above will add the tcm-id to the filename of each image outputted by the DWT TBB. – Philippe Conil Sep 25 '14 at 17:08
