Prompt for user to name sketch at "new"

[shiffman]

Or some sort of randomized / formatted default sketch name? I'd like to avoid the situation where everyone has a zillion "default sketch name" projects:

Just revisiting this and thinking about how to implement this...

Do we still think the user flow is best to force them to name a project when clicking "New"? What about when a user opens the editor for the first time (or the first time in a session)? Do we just need better default names, as #101 suggests?

I prefer the "forced naming" requirement but I know @REAS (and likely others) prefer a generated name. My issue is that unlike with a desktop application where an entire new window opens it's a bit hard to see what is going on if just the name subtly changes to something automatic. (Although, unlike with "duplicate", I guess if the code disappears and you see a new blank sketch it's pretty obvious what's happening.)

A third possibility is the "forced naming" with a default name pre-filled in so just a simple "ok" or something can be clicked. I guess I'm looking for signals to the user as to what is happening and/or a way for "new" to be cancelled if it's clicked accidentally?

I'm of course amenable to trying anything, I am likely being overly cautious here!

Dan, your "third way" seems like a good solution.

Regarding this issue, I think we've decided to just have better default names, i.e. #184.
