Friendly file names component

I was poking around the interwebs when I noticed a useful update over on David Roe's ContentOnContentManagement blog. I mentioned previously in my blog that SiteStudio was capable of friendly filenames and offered a few config tweaks to auto-generate them. Well, David went one better an wrote a component that does all the work. Grab yourself a copy.

Note that you still need to configure your server for friendly file names. The component has an advantage in that it can detect previously used filenames and increment the name with a number if necessary (1,2,3), whereas my method always appended the contentID (we can't execute any search services). His component doesn't use hyphens to produce SEO friendly filenames though... but if he reads this he'll probably update it to do so ;)
