Pre-fill in file name with new extension (and differentiating number) plus location when saving

Issue #574 new
Robert Leach created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

I want to save my output file with a name based on the name of the input file without having to search for it.

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

It appears as though the file location is correct, but the file name is not filled in with anything and the user has to read the input file name from the titlebar to know which file to select to save as.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The input file name, manipulated to add a differentiating number and appropriate extension should pre-populate the file name field. The name should be checked for conflicts in the existing folder and adjusted to be unique. The portion of the file name that is from the input file name should be pre-selected/highlighted so that the user can type in a new name.

DEVELOPERS ONLY SECTION

SUGGESTED CHANGE (Pseudocode optional)

Pretty much create a file name the way we were doing behind the scenes before and put it in the file name field. Select everything up to the extension (if possible).
