#4 Document numbers

[Hanneseppel]

One nice feature would be, if all documents could get a permanent document number, which the user could see. If a user prints the document on paper, he can write the number on it and put it in a folder (folder1: documents 1-132, folder2: ...). So they are easy accessable digital over lilidab and also on paper, you can read offline.

When the user opens the document, the document could be numbered documentnumer.extension. So if he sends it to another person, still one link exist to the database and the printed version (over the documentnumber).

This feature request requires a change in the database table layout,
which is scheduled for release 1.3 to support the following features:

a) enhance search speed
b) support document related keywords

I'll add document numbers to this list.

The second point will definitely _not_ be implemented, as it would
a) make the document number mandatory or file naming inconsistent and
b) leave the computer vulnerable to symlink exploits
