      Working with components, I've encountered a mystery I cannot solve. From the Component dialog box when selecting" Open or create a local collection" and then navigating to the folder I want to import a component from .... there are files whose names do not jive with the saved file name. It seems to have inherited some previous name I'd used. I cannot find any way of shedding this old name from the Components dialog box. Have others experienced this? What is the solution? Thanks in advance.

          For example I have a SU file named 'Complex component from full model - relayered.skp' and is listed as so in Windows Explorer. In the SU Component dialog box it lists that file simply as 'Complex'. What could be a reason for not showing me the correct and full name of the file?
