Unclear It is not clear when the new naming option is used.

What

When Claude Code fetches an attached file, such as an image, it saves it locally under a generated name. That step now has an extra option. When it is on, the name comes from a different rule applied to the file's ID. When it is off, the name is the first 8 characters of the file's ID, or a random ID for images, as before.

Why

File names of downloaded attachments may differ from what you saw before.
