Darwin & others,You can bet on that.
Adding an entire archive of PDFs to EndNote items manually must be extremely tiresome. Given the popularity of EndNote I bet many researchers are doing just that anyway (they probably curse a lot in the process).

Embedding DOI numbers according to some standard seems like an obviously smart thing. If available it would not only allow adding a pdf to the corrent EndNote items but also the reverse. Start with a pdf, autoresolve its DOI online, then import all the resolved metadata into an EndNote item, rename the pdf according to some format and import/link it to the EndNote item.
But it wouldn't really surprise me if DOI is not embedded at all. The electronic journal systems still seems rather ineffective and user-unfriendly.
from atom prober in the comments:
PDF supports XMP. XMP allows all the dublin core metadata that Zotero, refbase, OpenOffice.org, and other products are using.
We just need to have publishers care enough to put this data in and more end-user tools to index/view/search/edit it.
Yes, I agree. They get this in their forums constantly, yet they seem to have consciously decided to NOT trust anyone writing extensions. I can see the advantages. After 2-3 months on FF collecting extensions, I could recreate most of them in Opera with userJS. It really is impressive that most of these things are in Opera already without extensions. And how happy am I when I install opera in a new comp and it just worksTo me, opera is an incomplete and unusable product because I cannot make it "My own" by extending or adding on to it. In opera, I am limited solely to what the developers feel I should use. I have made a huge investment in some internet addons that, while opera may have a similar functionality, it doesnt compare to what I get out of these programs. Roboform, for one, puts the wand to shame. Again, if no one challenged what was already in existance, then we would be stuck with opera's limited implimentation and we wouldnt have the great program which is roboform.-Josh (June 12, 2007, 08:05 AM)
I agree 100%. I converted to Opera and used it exclusively for months. About the time I took over as the Discount Coordinator here at DonationCoder, I started looking for a notetaking application that integrated into my browser. After finding that the big ones didn't work with Opera, I decided to switch back to Firefox. If Opera would open itself up for extensions, and if it allowed something other than plain text to be copied to the clipboard, then I would switch back without hesitation.

?another copy/move program that i use: SuperCopier 2. but SuperCopier seems to be stuck in beta since middle of last year..-lanux128 (June 04, 2007, 03:01 AM)
Yea, I love SuperCopier... I haven't found a copy replacement yet that comes close. To answer a question someone posted back a ways, yes, Windows Vista does improve the copy/move process a little. At least it no longer just stops on an error, and it gives you a checkbox that allows you to specify repeat any action for a particular condition. SuperCopier is still better though, too bad the shell integration doesn't work on Vista. You can still use it but you have to do it manually.-Tekzel (June 07, 2007, 03:24 PM)
If you're building a library of classical music, it can be difficult to know which recordings will strike a chord. But now with Radio 3's help you can sit back, relax, and find out exactly what the experts think.
Our exclusive database of more than 1,000 of the finest classical performances is available online.
