Auto-populate Original Name based on uploaded file

[dannylamb]

Now that we're sanitizing file names upon upload, it would be nice if we could auto-populate the Original Name for a media based on the name before it gets sanitizied. I'm not sure how possible this is, and we may have to wait for the fix to be in core to really do this (it works on symfony events, so it should be easy to manipulate).

If I understand, "we're sanitizing file names upon upload" means we're installing transliterate_filenames in the Playbook and install profile. And that @seth-shaw-asu did something (maybe under his previous handle) that populated the Original File field. Is it public?

We populated it with our Migration API configurations. To do this via the Web UI you may be able to do this via some JavaScript that grabs the original name before the transliterate changes it. Workbench could probably also be updated to do this (if it doesn't already).
