Add your Downloads or Papers folder as a Watch Folder.

2. Auto-Extract Metadata#

NameQuick reads the paper content and extracts:

• Publication year from citations
• Author names from headers
• Title from first page

3. Consistent Filing#

Papers are renamed and ready for your reference manager.

Tips#

• Use author last names only for shorter filenames
• Abbreviate long titles to key concepts
• Include year first for chronological browsing
• Add topic prefixes for literature reviews
