# Breaking: #62886 - Removed setting config.meaningfulTempFilePrefix

See [forge#62886](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/62886)

## Description

The setting *config.meaningfulTempFilePrefix* which was still used for images built by GIFBUILDER that were saved in
typo3temp/GB/ has been removed. With this option it was possible to configure a meaningful file prefix limiting
the filename prefix to a certain character length.

## Impact

All files will always have their original filename fully prepended when stored in the folder typo3temp/GB/.

## Affected Installations

All installations using GIFBUILDER to generate images. The files within typo3temp/GB/ will now be called
with the full name of each original file before the hash and the file extension.

## Migration

The setting should be removed from any TypoScript configuration because it has no impact anymore.
