Can i download assignments without adding student names to the file names?

When I download all of the student assignments, Canvas produces a zip file.  But it also appends the student name and ID number to the file name.  Is there a way to get it to NOT do this?  In my course I am teaching the students the importance of using very specific file names and the Canvas appendage results in file names that are too long for Microsoft Windows to handle properly.

Sorry, with the default method of downloading all assignments at once there is no way to do this.

One thing you can do is have the students create a ZIP with the file(s) and upload that to Canvas. Then you can extract those after downloading and have the original names.
