FR:

So I just realized this, it apparently didn't matter to me before this, but if I record audio, the media item gets named according to the wildcards I've set at the preferences.
(Preferences -> Audio -> Recording -> file name format for recorded files)
But if I record MIDI, they only get "[track number]-[track name]-RECORDED MIDI" and that's just not acceptable for me at the moment. I need them to have name of the project, timestamp, name and number of the track it was recorded on etc.
I've figured out while searching that this behavior has been in REAPER since forever (decade at least) and only way to change it is to set REAPER to record midi in separate .MID files and it warns me that it's "less flexible" regarding editing, but doesn't explain how or why.
I tried to check SWS as well, but there's no real solution since Label processor doesn't support time stamps etc. for wild cards.
Is it really something that needs a FR to get fixed? I mean I don't want to give out any features or flexibility that embedded MIDI items claim to have, but I would want any recorded MIDI takes and items follow the media item name preferences...
Since one can give custom labels to any MIDI-items after the recording, there's no real explanation why they can't follow the file name settings even if they're embedded in .RPP file.
Has anyone else come across this and how have they solved it?
What exactly are the limitations in flexibility between embedded midi items and .MID files in this case?
