I know that this is intended (new) behavior. But it also breaks my old
and proven naming scheme for the PDF files (I only have PDF files
attached to all references; therefore, there is no need for a "unique
identifier" as part of the label name or file name) in the same way it
does for the original poster and, as a matter of fact my whole way of
dealing with the PDF files. I have not had the time to look at the new
version in detail (and probably will not have it in the near future)
in order to find out how I can adapt my established to the new way of
dealing with files. I must admit that I also do not like the fact that
I have to select a reference now in order to see the PDF file and be
able to click on it.
Don't get me wrong: this is not a complaint. I followed the previous
discussion and decided to stay quiet - so that's "my own fault".
I just wanted to explain why I think that several other people are
going to bring up problems like the one above, be it intended behavior
or not.
Best regards
