For those of us that use Xenforo and also have XFMG installed, we all are well aware of the fact that upon uploading a media item (image specifically) it automatically fills in the title of the XFMG item with the file name. And sadly, many will just use what is automatically put there.
This has a tendency to look rather crappy on the XFMG index page as when you hover over it the first thing you may see is something like
It's not the most attractive look, and ideally it would strip off the file name extension at the least. The best solution is one that the Xenforo developers will need to address in coding and that is requiring the user to manually enter a title. Yes, for those that upload many images at a time it means that they might have to do manual input, but there are ways around that. You could have an option in the ACP to default to forced entry but for certain groups allow the use of the file names and still strip the extension. Most of your users that will be uploading multiple images will probably have already given each image an individualized file name for their own use.
Meanwhile, if you don't want to see it on the XFMG index page, a solution is detailed on another support site I participate in and detail many of my solutions I use.
The partial solution:
The "bad" thing is, it still shows up the file/title name when you click on the image, but that will require coding to resolve.
