When importing a standard MIDI file, the clip name is first set from the Mtrk TRACKNAME. But later it is unconditionally overwritten with the SMF filename basename.
This one line patch changes the behavior so if the clip name is already set (presumably from Mtrk TRACKNAME), then it is not changed to filename.
