Description

It would be useful to configure patterns for file names for file extraction to give us more control over the filenames when using file_store.

Currently we just get file.1, file.2 etc. Setting the file name to a hash (sha256 preferably) would be helpful.

I like the idea to use the hash as file name. Would a global switch be ok for that?

For us I think that would be fine. Not sure if others would have the need to be able to specify paths, and/or patterns (timestamps, src/dst, etc.)

I guess this mean we first start writing to a temporary filename and then when it's done rename the file to the hash name.
