Ask HN: How to Deal with "File Naming Problem"? Frequently when I download something, the filename might be "Full.pdf" or "Book.pdf" rather than "[ActualTitleofBook].pdf" If I go back to look for the file, it's likely to get lost so I'll probably just go hunt for the original PDF again online to download Is this a problem to you or should filenames actually not contain anything about the subjects (like reflecting metadata)? I guess my "solution" is manually requesting more changes of filenames from people until it catches on as a convention, unless someone convinces me that the random naming I see is fine for reasons I'm missing |
