@Fiddlerman Please list Wexford Carol participant #9 as Carol V. Thanks!
You got it. 😁
I saw that you had (Carol V) but you also had your full name in the title. It's much easier when people have one title on the file, or let me know as you just did.
(I’m not Carol V. I’m just being helpful.)
@Fiddlerman , the file naming issue is a new Dropbox issue. I was logged in to my Dropbox account when I uploaded my Violin 1 part to your Dropbox through the link on your website. I was shocked when you posted the names of the first round of files you received and I saw that Dropbox had appended my actual first and last name to my specified file name! I did not transfer this file from my Dropbox to yours; I went through your website and “Browsed” my files on my system to choose the one to upload to your Dropbox.
When I uploaded my Violin 4 part later on, I made sure that I was logged out of my Dropbox account. Again, I went through the upload process on your website. Dropbox prompted me to enter my full name and email address to continue the upload (still not logged in). Again, Dropbox appended my full name to my chosen filename!
This never happened to me before.
Fellow participants:
On the bright side, this year Dropbox offers the ability to convert a .MOV file to an MP4 format. This works well! I hadn’t discovered this new feature until after my first upload. For that, I converted the file using Adobe’s free online conversion utility. It overcompressed the file and reduced the image quality. I let it go since the final images will be fairly small anyway so it shouldn’t matter that much.
For my second file, I used the new Dropbox file format conversion feature and it worked well. Will do that going forward. (I followed the Dropbox specs to upload and convert the .MOV file in a designated folder within my Dropbox account. Then, I downloaded the new MP4 back to my system. I uploaded that converted file from my system to the Fiddlerman Wexford Dropbox.)

Hmm. I also noticed that when I uploaded my first file, dropbox changed the name. I use my real name on the forum so didn't really think much of it at the time.
When I uploaded my final 3 files all at once the names didn't change, but I don't remember doing anything different (other than uploading multiple files at once).

That explains a lot. I hope everyone is checking the name that I will be using as credits.
It would be too difficult for me to reach out to everyone that submitted a video to ask them to check. Hoping it will be OK.
My other option would be not to use last names at all, but rather last name initials.
Please double check the name that I'll be using for credits below.
