Improvement: Friendly names for Processing Sketches like the p5.js web editor

Expected Behavior

New sketches should have an easy-to-identify name.

Current Behavior

New sketches are named with a number date string, sketch_201231b. This mix of numbers can make it hard to distinguish sketches, especially at a glance.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Processing.
  2. Create a new Sketch.
  3. Create another new Sketch.
  4. Try telling which sketch is which by quickly reading the name.

Your Environment

  • Processing version: 3/4
  • Operating System and OS version: Windows 10, Version 1909, Build 18363.657
  • Other information:

Possible Causes / Solutions
