Oherwise I will keep it as it is and for these cases you have to specifiy --title.
I think personally that using the filename as default title is the right course of action, for two reasons:

1. In most cases, the file will be called something "meaningful" and will make a reasonable title.

2. When the file has no metadata, the Gen3 displays the filename. By using the filename as the default title, if someone adds, say, an author name to a file which previously had no metadata, the displayed title won't change.
