Automatically Add Pitch to Name

Automatically Add the Pitch of a Sample to it's Name in Playlist/Channel Rack: An option that allows FL Studio to analyze each new sample added to the channel rack/playlist and add it's Key/Pitch to the name. This would save Users a gargantuan amount of time since they wouldn't have to edit each sample they wanted to save/tune with edison, detect the region, and rename it. If the option is enabled, new samples would automatically use Edison to detect the pitch (like it does when you manually detect pitch regions) and chooses the most viable option to add to the title of the Sample in the channel/rack playlist.

Automatically Add the Pitch of a Sample to it's File Name in FL Users Folders on Their Hard Drives:This technology could also be used to do what other software companies are starting to create software to do: you upload/scan your samples and it detects the key/pitch of each. The last paragraph described how samples in the channel rack/playlist would be affected, this one discusses how the technology could affect samples saved on one's hard drive; giving them the option to have FL Studio's pitch detection software/algorithms to automatically add the pitch of their samples to the file names. Other companies are going steps further and separating into instrument type, loop or one-shot, vibe/genre, BPM, etc. but that's just an instance of where this tech could lead. It would also help everyone have their music in tune, so you'd basically be making a large % of music made in FL Studio better with this 1 patch =]

The way I see it, Edison can already be used to detect pitch regions, and people can look for the first substantial region of a sample with an assigned pitch and assume that's the pitch, why not automate that and add the results to the name. It could also include strength indicators (ex: 'F# (weak)) to indicate the assumption of F# has weak evidence and you may want to check it.
