[Issue 124746] New: Replace "Title" by "Name" for file names

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124746

          Issue ID: 124746
        Issue Type: TASK
           Summary: Replace "Title" by "Name" for file names
           Product: General
           Version: OOo 3.3 or older
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: rainerbielefeld_ooo_qa@bielefeldundbuss.de

Currently there is a confusing parallel use of "Name" and "Title". I am not a
native English speaker, so my assessment might be wrong, but I think "name" or
"file name" is much more meaningful and less misleading than "Title

Some Details of the confusion: 
(a) New Documents (without a "real" name have the name "Untitled",
    so "title" seems to be the same a "name" (without extension, what 
    matches with c2)
(b) The AOO File dialog lists the file names in a category column "Title",
    (with full name, what does not match with C2)
    but the input line for that thingy is "file name"
(c1) Into a writer documents you can insert a field "Title", what will show
    the Title from menu 'File -> Properties -> Description (Tab)- Title',
    and a different field "Document - File Name"
(c2) But in Calc -> Format -> Page -> Sheeat Header [Edit]'  you will find an
     Icon with Tooltip "Title" what will insert the file name without 
     filename extension with item 'Title'
(d) With German UI the AOO file dialog shows a column "Title" for file names,
    the OS file dialog shows "Name"

And so on.

We simply should use term "name" where we talk about a (document) name

Probably, and because it is resolved I couldn't find it.
I can't think of a program with "Unnamed 1" and to avoid confusion maybe reopen
issue 26481.

(a) I think there is a request for changing "Untitled 1" to "Text Document 1",
"Spreadsheet 1" etc., can't find it
(b)True - should be Name
(c)True - Calc should insert title from File - Properties...
