Descriptive Filenames for Saved Videos
First off, nice work!! Miro makes sense of video on the web in a way nothing else does. But I have a couple of suggestions to make. How about using descriptive filenames for saved videos? When you drag downloaded videos into the library they're shown in Miro with descriptive titles, like "Captain Beefheart - Live in Belgium, 1969". But when I look for the same file outside the program it's named something like "VIDEO.13.MP4", which is cryptic! This seems needlessly opake for users who might want to edit the occasional file, or otherwise relate to it outside Miro. I suggest applying the descriptive internal title to the external filename, or simply including the external filespec in the "DETAILS" view, to let users know the name of the file linked to a library entry. I also suggest letting users trim search results by delete entries, and letting them save named search results.

miro sorely needs this, since I don't play video in miro (it's intended for my tivo)... so browsing files like 832948.mp4 is very annoying. even the ted files are not descriptive enough (peter tully 2004.mp4 - no title!)...
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Thanks for the great suggestion. Unfortunately, we can't execute on all the ideas that come our way for a number of different reasons.
We do try to do what we can though.
If you would, please check out Chris Markman's post on how to recommend a feature at http://getsatisfaction.com/participat... to try to get your proposal in the development pipe.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?This suggestion exists on the pculture Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.pculture.org/show_bug... - I've voted there!
I’m hoping everyone else will vote for it too

Inappropriate?That Bugzilla listing already has a patch to add this feature, so it's a bit of a mystery why it doesn't already work. It would take someone 5 minutes to review the patch and apply it.
