It is displayed in the detailed pane of the device list.

Yes, I understand that. If you implement that I guess the message should indicate that using the old filename could be problematic. There are other cases that could be justified, like minor fixes in a title.
The problem is that the new file name isn't calculated until well into the send and as part of the job. Getting any user interaction at that point is impossible. I don't think that there is a way to do it earlier. But, it's one of the things to look at.
