[PDF import] Keep the file names

Open jflesch opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

@Moini suggests that Paperwork could keep the original filenames when importing PDFs. It could help using its documents with other software.

Not only it could help using documents with other software, but also a title (filename or custom text in app) would make it easier to see what document is in front of you (without having to click/open).

I occasionally browse Paperwork’s files because it is much faster than opening Paperwork. In this situation, having original filenames would help.

@tYYGH hm, to me, when I read your comment, it sounds more like "Paperwork is too slow to start" than "we should keep the original filenames of PDF files" ;) (but yes, I get your point)

lol. Yes, you are right. But to be fair, much of the fault is on my side: my Papers folder is on NFS (1GB/s LAN, but still…)

My scanned document filenames are useful to me because I can quickly find a document by using basic filename search on my desktop (assuming I named it properly). So keeping the original filename after import + displaying a document title/filename in Paperwork would be the best of both worlds
