- It helps rename the file according to its title. To that end it suggests possible titles extracted from the file metadata and the raw text content.

- The files in the library can be searched based on their content.

## Design goals

- keeps a copy of the original file that is strictly read-only. On edit, creates a copy (cf Lightroom). Warns if original somehow gets modified (keeps hash? - how do we link documents that are mostly "the same"?).


## Next actionable

- exception handling if `pdftotext` or `pdfinfo` are missing.
- nicer "first-use experience": Right now we simply write a default config file. It would be good to have an initial setup dialog asking for the inbox and library folder paths.


## Possible future features

- make the utility work without a UI -> import documents using only command-line flags.
- search functionality -> build a search index based on the content we get from `pdftotext`.
- tagging or organizing into subfolders.
- send files to a personalized email address, pboy will check and pull that.
- tag files to sync to phone (or kindle).
- personal (or global) machine learning model to categorize documents.
