  Why aren’t you just sending people a doi or a hyperlink if they want a paper? And if they have asked for a specific paper surely they can do the renaming?

    No, because we do collaborate on sharepoints.

  This feels like it could be a legitimate use of LLM.

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

  I have a script which fetches bib entries for pdfs, and then renames it to my prefered format (names of author (no more than 2) - name of paper).

  in case you are interested

  
  #!/usr/bin/env sh
  
  newnamefn(){
  	bib="$(pdf2bib "$1")"
  	name="$(echo "$bib" | grep "title = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1 )"
  	authors=$(echo "$bib" | grep "author = " | cut -d'{' -f 2 | cut -d'{' -f 1  | sed -z 's/\ and\ /\n/g' | head -n 2 | tr '\n' ' ')
  	echo "$authors-$name" | detox --inline
  }
  
  for i in "$@" ; do 
  	newname="$(newnamefn "$i")" 
  	mv "$i" "${i%/*}/$newname".pdf
  done
  
  

  detox --inline is just a utility which makes the file names shell friendly (removes special characters and spaces), but that is optional. Also, technically the newnamefn is what does all of the job, and below is just a loop to iterate on all files that are given as input like script file1 “file2” file3, where file2 had some special characters, so enclosed in “” quotes. you can also translate it to python, then you would not even require sed and grep (you can just get output in json-esque format). I have a small keybinding in my file manager, which renames all selected files, so I do not have to spend any amount of my mind

  you can make it work in any os (maybe use some llm for it), you just have to install pdf2bib

    Nice! Thank you! (Can’t install it on my work computer though because ~reasons~ but will certainly try on my private laptop.)

      you can create a python virtual environment, and you do not even have to install python for that. you can install python in a user only mode, and then create a virtual environment (these can be made anywhere, so for example, your downloads or documents folder(assuming you are allowed to access these folders, you usually do)), script would have to be modefied a bit, but still doable. In case you need help for this, feel free to reply/message
