Why do downloaded icons have an ID? #1478

For example when I download an icon I get a filename like 5cb48f72d7a89235484af824b7af450c_Godot___Dialog.icns. I'd rather have the filename just be icon name instead.

I don't think it's a problem that they have an ID, but rather that a lot of icons don't have a meaningful "word" based name at the end. You can easily mass-rename the files, but soooo many are just 5cb48f72d7a89235484af824b7af450c.icns

This website was so close to putting my icon OCD to bed permanently, I'm not kidding, it would really be a substantial victory, I'd even pay a reasonable fee. I have a hard time discerning detail and bunched up text when there's a lot of "unreadable" noise like a wall of blank blue folder icons. Changing my icons to be clean but very symbolic does a TON for usability for me. I fight this problem on every single OS and this is the closest thing to perfect, but it fails in just one substantial way.

I downloaded like 400 icons but the naming really slows stuff down. I even considered making an image recognition script to give them somewhat searchable names.
