Have you ever considered that it would be nice that the file name should be different as the document name?

We have a lot of "not so smart" users that don't know what a file extension is (and they shouldn't). They can now easily brake things renaming the documents like "Invoice No.161" (and not "invoice_161.pdf"). But they are right - the document names have to be nice readable and understandable.

Also there are often trouble with utf-8 characters in file names, but that should not be a reason to categorize and rename my documents in my DMS system using them.

Well,

About document name and file name.There're minimal knowledge what must asume user have, it's minimal. Which kind of problem generate ? don't find files, files without .pdf can not be previewed etc... explain with more detail.

About utf-8 problems, explain us what happens. Can you reproduce the problem in our online demo ?

If I am not wrong, in OpenKM 6 you can specify document description. Are you sure that a document name would be good? By default would be the same as the document name, but without the extension?
