Hi,

First time installed Smarty. Working great. Awesome piece of software!
This will save me soooo much time.

Quick question. When a file is compiled, it has a really weird name. For
example, index.tpl will show up as:

%%45^45E^45E480CD%%index.tpl.php

Is there a reason for the leading characters: %%45^45E^45E480CD%% ?

Can I change it so the file is named as index.tpl.php instead?

Let me know,
Thanks!

I don't know if it can be turned off but I think it's good behaviour because it makes files almost impossible to find and therefore can't be run directly by someone from a web browser. Besides, it's good to be able to set up various software tools to ignore compiled templates by using a %%* mask (like svn, editors, etc.)
