I have a naming scheme "author+year+short journal+pages". This is a *systematic naming scheme, and it is unique for my PDF files (I see that it would not be in case I had more than one file per reference). My label is the same as my PDFfile name, as in the case of the original poster. > It will *not* break your old naming scheme, it just has to be > modified a little bit. > In most cases when you already have a format that works, the only > thing you'd want to do is add a "%u0" of "%n0" just before the file > extension (I recommend your format always to end with "%u0%e" or "%n0% > e").

This would not be acceptable because the above naming scheme is used by all of my group members, in BibTeX/LaTeX, in Word/ Endnote, and for saving PDF files of literature to our group partition on the server; so it needs to be systematic (and should not rely on unique letters).
