Can you add the revision number to Moneydance downloads?
Greetings!
Issue:
Moneydance downloads use a generic filename when downloading.
Suggested behavior:
Moneydance downloads should include some kind of versioning information as part of the download filename.
Why is this desirable:
In my case, I maintain a library of downloads, (for everything), that includes the name of the program and its version number. This allows me to keep track of what I have already downloaded and helps me understand when a new download is desirable.
Likewise, if a particular download fails and/or goes all pear-shaped for whatever reason, I can revert to the previous installed version.
Thanks!

just a user - quite a few of us maintain a set of versioning downloads, and rename them by hand. Doing this automatically (i.e. you download with a version name) might be nice, but we haven't seen such coming from IK.

I just add the version and build numbers during the save function when downloading.
Moneydance uses a build system to create the downloads and populate the download site. I would expect adding version numbering of any sort to the file names would complicate this process.
