Thanks for your great work Fischer, and the discussion between adr.fantini and
Fischer.

I have used kbibtex for 2 years, then switch to mendeley for 2 years, mainly
for the benifits for renaming (still buggy) and annotations.
Now I want to switch back due to that nearly no hope for a better support for
group with annotations, as that is a major business for mendeley.
The users do not have direct control on the files.

In specific, I need the separated annotations saved in text file, such that
docfetcher or baloo can index.

Come back on the renaming.
I do not think reaming the file name with bibkey or author/year is the best
idea.
This solution does not serve well on give much information as bibtex.
After all, we indeed need bibtex to help us free off the burden on remember all
the metadata of a file.

Furthermore, the bibkey or author/year is not constant, and it does not have
direct relationship with the pdf itself. This would be a disaster when using
okular.

Thus, I think renaming the files with just its md5/sha1 is a good option.
It brings the benefits that all your annotations and bookmarks stay with your
pdf/epub/djvu, when using okular.
Just leave the metadata to bibtex. After all, that is what bibtex expected to
do.
(Do one thing at a time and do it best.)

In short, it would be great if KBibTeX could rename the file automaticly with
its md5.
