when playlist is played from file, playlist name is replaced with content of playlist - badbob001 - 2023-09-12

Say I have a local playlist:
myplaylist.strm

with single line like:
https://site1/playlist.m3u8

If I use the Video > File to view the folder containing item myplaylist.strm, it shows the item as myplaylist.strm as expected. But if I play the file, the item name now is changed from myplaylist.strm to playlist.m3u8. If I leave the folder and come back, the item name is back to myplaylist.strm. Is there a way to prevent the item name from changing?
