[Feature Request] Show sup file name

[woodwm]

It seems that paperlib does not support multiple files for a paper. The reason for multiple files is the additional supplementary documents. For example, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34303-8#Sec13 has supplementary Information, Peer Review File, Reporting Summary and source data.

It is supported. Just drag files into the details panel.

Sorry about that. paperlib only shows the extension of a supplementary document. It works if it only has one supplementary document, but is confusing when it has multiple supplementary documents of the same extensions. Please considering show the name of a file.

Show part of the name in the list of supplementary documents and show full name when the mouse hover over it.

Doable.

It seems the supplementary file https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41551-020-00682-w/MediaObjects/41551_2020_682_MOESM1_ESM.pdf cannot show in the paperlib. Could you please figure out what happen? The file is already downloaded but not shown in the software.

@invisprints Hi, could you please describe your operation?

I tried to attach this PDF to a paper, and everything looks ok.

Are you following the guide here?
https://paperlib.app/en/doc/getting-started.html#attach-supplementary-files

[invisprints]

Thanks, I didn't notice there is a guide.
I just tried to drag the file in the main view or use the browser extension.

If you drag and drop it into the mainview, it will be regarded as a main paper rather than a supplementary file.

Is anyone working on this feature? I'm ready to try it😁

[GeoffreyChen777]

@ZephyrZhang3

No. It's not easy. To implement this, we need to change the database schema. Currently, the supplementary file name is like xxxxxx_id_sup0.pdf. We need a new field for aliases.

could we add its name just between 'id' and 'sup#'

Sounds good, try it?

[ZephyrZhang3]

I'll try

Is there a pop-up window now? maybe pop a window to input sup name

@ZephyrZhang3 I would suggest implementing a UI component consisting of a <input> and a button for sup. Just like the tag item in the left sidebar.

We can edit its name by right clicking it.

OK

[ZephyrZhang3]

at adding time, use a random name or default like now, just show the extension name

[ZephyrZhang3]

I think the extension name PDF is better😏

[GeoffreyChen777]

@ZephyrZhang3 The default alias is empty, which yields a file name xxx_id_sup0.pdf. In UI, we show PDF

If users input an alias, say ABC, the filename should be xxx_id_sup0_ABC.pdf. We show ABC.pdf in UI.

Basically, you split the filename with _, and then we check the last element filename_components.pop(). If it starts with sup, we only show the extname. Otherwise, we show the last element.

Notably, users should not input an alias like supX. which means that supX is invalid.
