Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm trying to add timestamp to the filename, but I can't imagine how to make it work with JQuery FilePond. I do need this because I can't modify the file.source after the file uploaded to replace File to a URL of the uploaded file.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to change the name of loading file (or any other property) in the File object OR be able to replace processed file with URL from backend.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried to use oninit, beforeAddFile, onload (in process) to replace file that is being uploaded.

This makes sense, thanks! Thought that plugin is for users to rename file before upload. My bad!

But I have to mention, that this worked for the processing file, but when I'm clicking on a file to delete it, I receive in onremovefile old name of the file.

I believe the file is renamed before upload.
