How to set non-random file names on imgur.com

How can I set images to have non random file names on imgur.com?

When I upload an image, a random string gets assigned to it.

How would I link to an image like username.imgur.com/meaningful_file_name.jpg instead of username.imgur.com/6dtgw.jpg?

Flickr does a similar thing. This can't be done for the sake of creating unique file names, as the username can provide that.

  1. Upload the image. Get the image URL, such as http://i.imgur.com/GM9kb.png
  2. Add a slash to the direct URL, followed by whatever string you want, such as http://i.imgur.com/GM9kb.png/Caturday.png
  3. ????
