[Feature Request] Use folder name for hierarchical custom renaming #596

Open pratch opened 3 months ago

pratch commented 3 months ago

Is it possible to add {foldername} component for custom PDF renaming? I would like to store PDF files in the folders that I created (e.g. vision, vision-language, dataset).

  1. there are some options to organise the PDF folder.

  2. You cannot store PDF files in the folder you created. The paperlib UI should be the only entry of all PDFs.

  3. Let's imagine:

    • If you have only <10 papers, managing the PDFs folder structure by yourself is acceptable. What if you have >1000 papers?
    • And what about papers imported via the browser extension?
    • One paper can have different tags, for example, one paper has both vision and dataset tags. How to store the PDF? duplicating the PDF twice is not acceptable.

I think you can feel why we don't want to organise the folder by ourselves.

My suggestion is that: ignore the PDF folder on the disk. Use the paperlib UI as the only entry. Organise your paper in Paperlib. You can tag them, put them in different folders, and search them easily.

I hope that Paperlib can store paper PDFs in the corresponding folders on disk. Then, when I move a paper to a specific folder using Paperlib UI, it automatically moves the PDF file to the corresponding folder on disk. And after syncing the papers to my tablet, I can easily find the paper I want.

One paper can be in different paperlib folders.
