    File names are for plebs.

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

    It’s not my fault. All the servers hosting papers name them like this. Go complain to them. No seriously, go complain to them. This has annoyed me for quite some time.

    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

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