Hi,

I am trying to rename a file, but it doesn't work

I tried this:

var cloudinary = new Cloudinary(GetCloudinaryAccount());
cloudinary.Rename(oldPublicId, newPublicId);

This works on images, but doesn't work on files

I read this

https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/200788042-Renaming-a-raw-asset-using-the-image-rename-method-

So I tried to do similar, but it looks like the API doesn't support resource_type, because cloudinary's RenameParams doesn't have that property.

I tried to do this:

var cloudinary = new Cloudinary(GetCloudinaryAccount());
var rename_parameters = new RenameParams(oldPublicId, newPublicId);
var url = cloudinary.Api.ApiUrlImgUpV.ResourceType(Api.GetCloudinaryParam<ResourceType>(ResourceType.Raw)).Action("rename").BuildUrl();
SortedDictionary<string, object> renparams = rename_parameters.ToParamsDictionary();
HttpWebResponse response = cloudinary.Api.Call(HttpMethod.POST, url, renparams, (FileDescription)null);

This returns stats:404

and I tried to add resource_type parameter like this

this.AddParam(renparams, "resource_type", "raw");

 

this returns status 401 Invalid signature

how could I rename Non-image files in .NET?

thanks

  Hi Banks,

   

  Thanks for reaching out.

   

  It does seem like we have an issue with renaming non-image types in .NET SDK. 

  There's already an issue open to fix it. I'll of course let you know of any updates.

   

  As a workaround, you can rename using a direct call to the API - 

  https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/<cloud_name>/<resource_type>/rename

   

  Let me know if you need any further assistance with building this call.

   

  Best,

  Hi Banks,

  Wanted to let you know that our .NET SDK was updated and it now supports setting a ResourceType in RenameParams.

  You can find the SDK here - 

  https://github.com/cloudinary/CloudinaryDotNet

   

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes?

   

  Thanks,
