[GNC-dev] Reports Naming Problem

Sending this to -Dev because of the technical aspect of the problem...
Over the years, my Saved Reports list had gotten unruly, with various
one-off reports littering the folder. In an effort to figure out which
reports were still valid, I undertook to open every report and delete
those that were no longer useful to me.
However, the process was long, so I needed some way to flag the reports
that I *had* vetted, and I chose to add an asterisk ("*") to the end of
the report title. This postfix tagging worked fine; the tagged reports
showed up in the list of reports with their new names, and they all ran
just fine.
Now, having completed the process, I no longer need to keep track of
which reports have been checked, and I thought I might remove these
tags. Unfortunately, renaming the report (either by removing the text,
or by adding some other text in its place) doesn't work; the asterisk
remains regardless.
I realize that I can go into the saved-reports-2.8 file and manually
rename them all, but that seemingly defeats the purpose of a user
interface...
