If the file name is not specified then it uses a default name https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ckeditor/blob/master/ui/src/main/resources/CKEditor/EditSheet.xml#L250 which leads to a random (unique) attachment name https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ckeditor/blob/master/ui/src/main/resources/CKEditor/FileUploader.xml#L69 . So the fact that the attachment is saved as "image.png" in your case it indicates that the OS / Browser / the image source (where you copied it from, e.g. the clipboard) specifies the "image.png" name. So CKEditor has to use it. Note that in some cases you want to overwrite an existing attachment. You edit a page that has an image and you want to upload a different image with the same name to replace it. > > If there is an add in that might mitigate this issue that would be ideal, > but I might guess there is not.
