Automatically rename picture uploads

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to programmatically rename image upload files based on the post title and user's name.

Solution: There's nothing built-in to handle this, but Nigel provided an example script in the link below.

I'm curious to know if it's possible the following:

When uploading pictures in the Post Form, is there a script where the uploaded pictures would be renamed after the post title or some other combination such as post title + user's first name, etc? That way it organizes the pictures with the custom post or the user. Easier to find in the future.

Nigel provided an example of renaming uploaded images in this ticket: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/split-rename-uploaded-images/

Note that AJAX image uploads must be disabled for this to work, and you'll have to modify the function tssupp_handle_rename_upload to format the filename as needed.
