I dealt with that by coming up with translations

For example  
`:`  
from FILENAME becomes  
`..`  
in TITLE tag [and the other way around]

Of course that required some thinking ahead from me and requires taking those "synonims" [exchangers] into account when adding new actions to my settings [so that for example my two dots will not interfere with three dots or titles with a single dot]

For FILENAME \> TITLE way I use an action

For TITLE \> FILENAME way I use the "Tag - Filename" icon
