Media names on the timeline

Jul 27, 2023

I have found it useful to rename the native asset names on the timeline (e.g., "audio 1" or "picture 1") to the actual media filename. It makes things easier to manage, imo. I embed a lot of voiceover audio and have a lot of pictures that I put in the projects. It would be nice if Storyline could automatically rename the assets on the timeline to the actual filename.
..."Audio_Slide 2.1_Intro.mp3" is a lot more informative to me than simply "Audio 1", and if I need to replace the media on the timeline, it's easier to see exactly where it is...

That would be useful to me too, though I currently need the opposite, specifically for items created within Storyline, like Neural Text-to-Speech files. There's no way to automatically name them, and finding the right one in the media library when they're all called "text to speech #" requires a lot of playing random audio files to guess.
