But really, you're always changing the filename programmatically because
you're not clicking on the file name to enter edit mode and typing in the
new name. The first three options allow the program to decide the filename,
the fourth assigns a filename the user specifies (or assigns). I'll wager
you'll get yourself into a lot less trouble if you look at it from this
point of view.
HTH!
