The fact that they're all PDF files is irrelevant. The unique specifier is only added if a file with the newly generated name already exists on disk; if your filenames are unique already, as you say, you won't notice a difference. > 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 don't understand this complaint (and regardless of the disclaimer below, it is a complaint). How could you see the PDF file before without selecting or opening it? If you're thinking of drag-and-drop from the main table, add a "Local File" column and drag the paperclip or click on it. > Don't get me wrong: this is not a complaint.

If people on this list ignored the discussion over the last 4 months we've been working on this and did not test the nightly builds, that is your own fault.
