"File Name" field being overwritten in my DataPlugin

So, I wrote  a DataPlugin for a custom file type.  It appears to be working fine - with one exception:  In the plugin, I set the File Name to be something OTHER than what the real file name is.  When I load it in Diadem, the name gets set back to what the real File Name is rather than what I tell it to be. My file title and description work fine, and other names (group, channel) are working.

 

The reason for this is how we stucture our data.  The data for one test is all stored in a folder.  The name of that folder = the name of the test.  Each test can consist of multiple runs, each of which gets its own file.  So, the structure I'd like to see in Diadem would be:

 

"Test name" -> File Name (in Diadem)

Each file in folder -> Channel group (in Diadem).

 

This way if I loaded the same run from two different tests they would show up correctly.  Unfortunately, Diadem seems to completely ignore what I put in the Set Properties [File].Name field.  In addition, even if I load files from two different tests it clumps them all under one file name.

 

Is there something I'm missing?
