Create a separate field for the filename

Fileframework currently uses node_title to store the file name. While this might be economical and expedient, it is very inconvenient as it makes it impossible to create views (using the views UI) that combine files with other content types where the desired behavior is to return the file titles along with the other node titles. We currently do this by putting the title in another field and writing the views by hand as modules, which is sub-optimal in our client's view.

We would be happy to help with this, if you are open to it.
