New track and folder naming (special one about synth tracks)

I'm sure this feature has been requested before.

When creating new tracks and folders, they appear as already named, you must double click in their name field to edit the name.

I would like to have the option to have new tracks and folders appear with their names already selected and ready to edit, as if I had already double-clicked in the field. This would make the creation of new folders and tracks go faster.

Secondary request: the option to leave the "output" part out of the names of newly created synth tracks. This applies to synth tracks such as created by selecting "First Synth Audio Output" in the Insert Soft Synth Options dialog. For whatever reason, simple instrument tracks already use only the name of the synth and the instance number.

Example: I add a synth track for Xpand!2. The name given to the track is "Xpand!2 1 Primary Output." While this is handy information when creating tracks for synths with multiple outputs, in the scenario where I only use the first output (which is the vast majority of my synths), the "Primary Output" is just clutter. It displays as "Xpand!2 1 Prima" on Console strips.

If I create a simple instrument track for Xpand!2, the track is created with the name "Xpand!2 1" No "Primary Output" to have to delete.

So for those of us who create our synth tracks using the "First Synth Audio Output" option, please allow us to use the track name that Sonar would use if it were a simple instrument track being created.

Yes, I know that all I have to do is double click on the track name and delete the extra text, but for a project with say, 15 soft synths, it's a boring, repetitive task that slows the flow.
