i don' think the naming and the storing are different matters, not for the common user / collector.
an ipf file that stores the info on what it is inside the file inside itself could be identified only by some tool reading it: it would be a slow and difficult way to manage files.
not to mention that everybody using any tosec archive should change its habits.
not only that, but any frontend like gamebase that required years of work to build a database should thow away that work, if it wanted to use this.
either way, someone should tidy the adfs anyway prior to store them in the new format, and that work is precisely what you point as your problem now.
