Title for downloaded file much too long

Description

The overlong title messes up menus and is hardly editable in any activity's title bar field.

The title should just be the filename, the full url should be put in the description field (which would also be a workaround for #5253).

Also, please un-escape the filename, those %20 things are ugly.

Please clean up this bug report; we can't tell what's going on! (cjb thinks this might already be fixed; is it?)

When downloading a file in Browse, it is given an overly long unhelpful title, e.g.:

File Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr from http://www.squeakland.org/content/articles/attach/Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr.

which is actually displayed as

File Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr from http://www.sq...

Only the first few words are visible in the Journal list view, and even the detailed view does not show the whole title because it is still too long to fit one line.

IMHO the title of that Journal entry should be just

Sun Earth Moon.001.pr

(which means it's unescaped, i.e. the %xy sequences replaced by actual characters) and the URL should be put in the description field (which is unused currently):

Downloaded from http://www.squeakland.org/content/articles/attach/Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr

And no, this is not fixed in 8.2-762.
