Ratings and Reviews
Handy to an extent - not-quite intelligent title retrieval
The developer has really identified a need for people, like me, who end up with hundreds of numerically named pdfs on their hard drive. I use Yep to tag and store pdfs and an app like this helps with the process of tagging. So far, it's worked okay for some files (presumably those with enough metadata), but for others it doesn't intelligently get the correct title. Sometimes it comes up with weird titles and other times it does not suggest a title at all. These are readable pdfs so I don't know what the problem could be. Perhaps it would be better for the program to retrieve both the title from metadata and the information it uses for intelligent title retrieval and let the user decide which is best per file (dropdown suggestions?). I'd love it if the program could also include an author name, but that may be too much to ask!
One other little problem is that if you choose to fill white spaces with something like _ and limit the title words to fewer words than are in the title, the last character prior to .pdf will be _. I find this mildly annoying. I'll admit I'm ever so slightly obessessive though!
Now, if this program could also add OpenMeta tags…
I'd definitely give this 5 stars if intelligent naming worked properly. It's the sort of program that can save researchers a lot of valuable time.
------------------
As an update on the most recent release, this program is definitely getting better. It's not quite intelligent enough, yet. Author name, for example, would be handy (when available). Also, it is still a little limited in what it will allow you to do. In particular, the program does not allow drag & drop! For some reason keyboard shortcuts don't work (I can't remove a file with "delete"). This could be my setup though.
A small GUI request: could the inspector interface have collapsible menus instead of tabs?
Works for me
I have used this for the past few years and it works about 90% of the time for me. This is well about the expected threshold to bulk rename many pdf journal articles. I would buy this again.
Simple and Good
Very convenient when you download paper from websites.
