I have to admit, Im the one spending time shuffling through folders searching for the drawing file. Because of following process in my company, the drawings are named as part number.SLDDRW, but you dont know what part it is, so parts are named differently - part number_part name.SLDPRT. Unfortunately, SW cannot work with that, so opening the drawing from model doesnt work anymore. I know you can change displayed name in the model tree, but that doesnt work well for me, sometimes the setting reverts, sometimes shows incorrect properties, etc. So nice feature, but because of not being good enough and other feature broken, makes it nice but useless feature in the end.
