Make web media block use filename when compressing

The default file names that IA generates for the 7zip web media blocks is the full name of the package. Is there a way to make the compressed filename the one that IA is looking to download it from? If not, could this be an enhancement for a future version? I always have to rename these when I have them built.

No one ever replied. I wanted to bring this up because I think makes sense for usability especially for new users, but would save me a lot of time.

Dear Rev23dev,
I'm not quite sure to fully understand your request.
Probably you mean; when editing a Web Media Block, the possibility to automatically update the "filename portion" of the URL field, in order to reflect the name assigned to the Web Media Block.
Am I correct?
Regards

Well, currently when you build you'll get filenames like
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP2 (x64).7zip
My URLs point to a more URL friendly filename
https://myserver/path/sql2014sp2_x64.7zipSo, anytime I rebuild those packages I have to go rename the files before I upload them. I think InstallAware should use the filename I have specified in the URL when building these instead of that full friendly file name.
Hope that clears it up
