when adding a blob, blob name is ignored and current date used as name instead

[kevduggan]

I am added a Blob using the addFile function. the name of the file then gets set to the current date.

there doesn't appear to be any way of over-ridding this behaviour (I am using the blob method in IE11 as adding a File object not working). Is there a way to set the filename after the upload (i've tried using setMetadata on the returned File but it had no effect)

debugging you can see that the blob has a name

FilePond tests if it's an instance of File or Blob, you can turn a Blob into a file using the following method:

var file = new File([myBlob], 'name.extension');

This might not work on older browsers, I'll see if I can adjust the logic so it tests for name and only sets the name and lastModifiedDate automatically if they're missing.

ya it doesn't work with IE11, hence using the Blob approach in that case

in the meantime i am hiding the filename on the preview using css

.filepond--file-info-main{
    opacity: 0.0;
  }

Just published version 1.8.1, should work now. Please confirm.
