The result here can be used as a name, or as part of a name.
How we use this resulting basic name, and whether we use it at all, depends
on other parameters.
Auto Assign Name
The Auto Assign Name parameter in the Capture/Conform preference tab,
defines what Material Name we give imported files/sequences inside the
project library.This name is extracted from the file name and/or folder
structure according to rules defined here.
Once we have our basic name string described above, we determine its use
via a drop-down selector of :
replace with filename - this setting does not use the basic string we

prepend filename
append filename
ignore filename
These settings control whether we combine our basic string with the actual
filename when creating the library material name (apart from the replace with
filename setting).
For our first resultant basic string calculated above :
