With a simple change, I renamed the symbols. The naming convention for the files is "Symbol_1-min.txt".
I changed that to "Symbol.txt" via the command line.(in one run of course)
Intuitively, I thought this would be advantageous, for example, if I create datasets with symbols that I then want to stream in a live session. Whether this is useful is hard to judge. A counterpoint, of course, is that I have to do all the updates to the data regularly with each update.
What do you guys think, is there more of an advantage or disadvantage to customizing the filenames/symbols?

Rename
Two potential ideas:
1. Workaround. Use symlinks for your files, keeping the original names intact and feeding WL8 the renamed symlink for convenience:
