The current behaviour is afaik to take the longest name. If thats the
md4 name your out of luck. I got bitten by that too. I think there
where some changes in the CVS against it but I'm a few days behind atm.

I'm working on making the name choosable. Just like the save context
menu for downloaded files where you can chose one of the names.
Additional you would be able to enter your own version. That name
would then be sticky and remain even during restarts. Initially the
name would be set to what appeared in the query. I think thats the bet
approach.

Not sure who came up with the idea of changing the name all the time,
wasn't too bright. :)
