While you can add a file name, we think it’s easier to remember files based on what they look like or what they contain. That’s also why there aren’t a lot of icons in Étoilé. Rather than use icons, Étoilé uses miniaturized versions of the actual document to make it easier to quickly identify the document you’re looking for. That and metadata… name isn’t mandatory, but it can also be the simplest and more effective solution, so we shouldn’t just discard it 🙂 Agreed, but let’s also not force them to name a document if they don’t want to. And let’s definitely not get into the trap of giving it a name so that we as developers can identify it: the system can keep track of the file via an inode or inode/volume combo.
