TV Show Extras naming

For trailers that need to keep an order, I like your approach. I’ll have to remember that.

Using the X-Files as an example, nearly every episode has two trailers. Some only have one and one has three. I wasn’t interested in titling any of them or keeping them in any particular order, and I wasn’t just going to throw them away, so I used the -trailer# naming convention, figuring everything was cool. Only until much later did I discover that their display names were wonky.

It looks like the only solution for a clean display name is to provide each of these nameless trailers with a name, like “Trailer 1” and “Trailer 2”. Hopefully, I’ve provided enough detail to fully explain the inconsistency/oversight in agent behavior with the two naming conventions to have the issue logged. It’s not a top priority, obviously, but it is something that should eventually be improved upon.
