Mac File Names issue
 

First of all nicely done proggie on the mac.
Best client out there imho. Other people
on this board are whining about all kinds
of crap and even posting dumb ascii drawings
of their UI improvements. Well I think you guys
are doing fine on the gui, the usability, having
incomplete download folders, all of it is fine with me.

Anyway, the Mac has crappy short filenames.
When you guys save the file to disk
you name it with some hex-looking hash code
to cover that. The original filename, which
has all the real info (on files that do not have
mp3 id tags) is only listed in the 'library' window
now.
It would be great to be able to organize your files
somehow, without having to retype every name,
and keep looking up those dumb hashes in
the library window. Nome sane?
Maybe that list could be exported as text? So i could write
some cool perl script that would rename all the files, and
then put them in folders, like/Genre/Band/Album/Songname.

Or at least be able to copy that field, i know it's probably
crappy swing's fault, since it works on the pc. ok peace out

Napster solved the problem by putting the full file name in the comments/get info field of the file. Persumably used that information for file sharing as well, although I'm not sure about that. It would be nice if Limewire did the same.

This feature would be much appreciated. I manually add the full file name to the comment field in the Finder so I know what is what without having to look at the ID3 tags.
