    File names are for plebs.

    Serious people use document management systems and rich metadata to manage these things.

      Hello wizard,

      May I ask what ur favorite “document management system” is (hopefully containerized in docker)?

    No, but seriously, half of my research time is wasted on renaming downloaded files. (Yeah, I know, there’s reference management software but people use different ones, so sharing papers or storing them for easy access is still dependent on properly named files.)

        Don’t get me started on what is a legitimate use for LLM given the ethical and ecological implications.

    It changed my life. Mainly because of the automatic citation handling and bibliography generation in LyX.

    Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?

        I’m one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I’m working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I’m using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace
