Description

I recently had to troubleshoot a customer Plone site because files were downloading via WebDav and the ZipFileTransport product without an extension. I was finally able to trace the reason to PLIP 9186 which changes the content id from the file name to the Title field.

But this feature means mass downloading files renders them useless on Windows and in any software that doesn't read the file header to determine content type.

This issue is important because many people use Plone as an open-source Microsoft Sharepoint alternative for document management (the SharePoint 2013 theme even looks like Plone's blue and white sunburst theme).

An more universal solution would be to keep the file extension even when changing the id to the Title field.
