About the AKA field.
Many demos have a different filename compared to the name given in the release (f.ex. in the intro).
Personally I always use the name in the release as the main name & the filename as the AKA since the filename could have been changed many times by the people copying/spreading the release.
I've noticed that others tend to do it the other way around which to me doesn't seem right.
Any thoughts on this? |

mmmh, maybe there could even be a special field for the actual filename ? *shrug* |

I dont think the AKA. field was invented to put the filename into it. |

Probably not, still it's the best way to do it to avoid duplicates. If a release has one "correct" name in the intro & another one in the filename & I enter it with the "correct" name someone else might add it again using the filename & not get a warning, unless I put the actual filename as an AKA. |
