15.8.3.2 Renaming DITA topic files with FrameScript

For a way to achieve human-readable DITA topic file names, see Rick Quatro’s solution:

http://frameautomation.com/2010/03/24/renaming-dita-map-topics/

From Rick’s Web site:

The script proposes new topic names, based on the navtitle value of the topicref. You can have the script automatically use the new names, or you can use a “semi-automatic mode” where the old names and proposed new names are written to an Excel file. Then you can use Excel to fine-tune the new names. A second script quickly applies the spreadsheet names to the DITA map and corresponding topic files.

Note:  This method would not work for references between topics in different maps.
