 * I would like a tiny plugin to set programmatically the title of posts from a 
   Custom Post Type.
    Title for this Custom Post Type is hidden to Editor, so I 
   want the system to set the title automatically for consistency, using a unique
   timecode. Could you please help me ?

 * This is long overdue but just in case someone needs it, it is best to use the‘
   enter_title_here’ filter and modify the title to hold something relevant to your
   custom post type
 *     ```
       add_filter('enter_title_here','themeSlug_alter_title_label',10,2);
   
       function themeSlug_alter_title_label($label, $post){
               if( 'book' == get_post_type($post) )
                   $label = __('Enter book title here', 'guntu');
   
               return $label;
           }
       ```
