Contributions summary:Daniël primarily focused on enhancing the backend functionality of the `sketchy` application by adding support for non-default Amazon S3 bucket regions. They modified the `sketchy/controllers/tasks.py` and configuration files (`config-default.py` and `config-test.py`) to incorporate the `S3_BUCKET_REGION_NAME` variable, enabling the application to connect to S3 buckets in different regions. Furthermore, the user addressed a filename issue related to S3 object naming and implemented necessary corrections to use the correct filename. These changes collectively improved the application's S3 integration and ensured compatibility with varied S3 configurations.
