--- Comment #14 from Stephan Zietsman <[email protected]> ---
Reading the comments I can clearly see that changing the default extension to
".od?.pdf" and keeping the original ".pdf" both have challenges.  I've been
thinking of a possible work-around, perhaps using something similar to
"-od?.pdf".  If windows users hide file extensions then it would appear as
"-od?", which does not imply a "-od?" file extension.

That said, I feel that if a user chooses to hide extensions, then the extension
should be hidden.  For that reason, neither ".od?.pdf" nor "-od?.pdf" feel
right, as the filename would have "?od?" at the end, which is not what the user
chooses to see (and "-od?" just looks messy).

Ideally, I'd like to have a totally different file extension, such as ".hpdf"
and then magically have all the pdf readers associated to that extension, but
that is impractical.

Perhaps some more brainstorming is required on this subject.  Maybe this
discussion is best suited to the mailing lists.
