File name should be updated to match new versions.

The file name should always match the latest versions file name. Right now, we have to manually change the file name to match.

    Commenting to bump this! 

    This is absolutely bonkers that you have to do this task repeatedly for each version, particularly so when your competition in Frame.io does not suffer the same drawback.

    There is no valid reason I can think of as to why your file name should not match the most recent version's name. 

    Please save us editors this mindless repeated work.

      Whats so odd is... I feel like it would take MORE programming to NOT automatically take the name of the recent file uploaded 😂

    I'd love it if this were a preference that could be turned on/off. I actually like having the file/project name stay the same and having the versions be accessible from the dropdown menu. I would, however, love to have custom version numbers/names.
