With 1.5 "Destination filename:" was added. This parses the filename out of the selected file. This needs to be done whenever a new file is selected, not only when it is blank. When you upload hundreds / thousands of pronunciations this means a lot of extra time.. For me it is a major amount of time. Thanks, GerardM

It might be good to keep the manually set name, this way users can easily upload a sequence of file with a close name. For example, you have: MyHollydayPic.png MeWithAshar.png CloseFriend.png MagicChurch.png But you want to upload them as: Hollyday2005March-01.png Hollyday2005March-02.png Hollyday2005March-03.png Hollyday2005March-04.png If the "destination filename" field is kept (as it is now) one can easily change the trailing number.
If you think it a good idea have a tick box that allows you to NOT update the name in the "destination file name". The argument why you want to keep the name is as good as the request to change the name. Thanks, GerardM
*** Bug 3101 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed in HEAD and REL1_5. I don't think the case for not setting the filename on selection is very strong. Perhaps it could be thought about as an enhancement, but the primary use case doesn't seem to support it, and the behavior was confusing and not self- consistent (eg, it's not clear why it would set the filename sometimes but not other times).
Bug 3131 is a side-effect of this fix.
