Inspiration

When we download a new PDF file online, it is often tedious to key in all the words to rename the file. For example, if a student is downloading lecture notes of a module CS1010 and trying to rename each note as CS1010-lecture-1.pdf, CS1010-lecture-2.pdf, CS1010-lecture-3.pdf etc, he or she always need to type the keywords CS1010 and lecture repeatedly. Much time would be conserved if he or she can save the keywords somewhere so as to reuse them next time.

What this Google Chrome extension does

This chrome extension saves keywords that a user want to repeatedly use when renaming a file name when downloading a PDF file. Going back to the previous example, a user can save the keywords CS1010 and lecture in the extension. Then, the user can use the keyword by clicking it from the keywords box in the extension whenever he wants to rename a similar PDF file when downloading it.

How to install and use this Google Chrome extension

1. Clone this repo into a local drive.
2. In Google Chrome, go to chrome://extensions/ and turn Developer Mode to ON. Then click on Load Unpacked and add the cloned folder.
3. Go to a PDF file on a website and open the extension. The extension can only be loaded if it is on a page that ends with .pdf.
4. Add new keywords that you want to use frequently in file names (e.g. a module code when downloading the modules' lecture notes) in the Add Name text box. A new button with the keyword should appear. These buttons will remain there every time you reload the extension.
5. Now if you click on the newly created keyword buttons, the keyword will be appended to the end of the Final File Name text box.
6. You can also manually edit the Final File Name text box.
7. Click on Save To button to choose the directory to save the PDF file. The name of the file is same as the one in the Final File Name text box.
8. You can also delete any keyword button by pressing the X button.
