… files Problem: the old interface for getting output files (get_output.php) downloaded files with their physical name, which is a cryptic string with no extension. If the output file is, for example, a .zip, you don't see this. You also don't see the logical name of the file. Solution: give downloaded files better names. For example, if a result has a single output file with logical name 'output.zip', download it as resultname__output.zip Similar for multiple output files per result, for workunits, for single files from a result, and for batches. Fixes #5262 This can be used as a web API, or directly from web pages (submit.php) This replaces the old interface, but I'm leaving it there in case anyone is using it. Add utility functions for - getting the full path of an output file - getting the logical names of a result's output files
