I'm already addressing that though (with CSV files) by adding a warning that lets you rename the file that is created, or you can use the new "Save as New PDF" which will let you rename the file that is saved and this will replace what file is used by the song in the song editor. The downside of automatically renaming any modified file is that people could end up with 10 versions of a single PDF if they made repeated modifications and they may not even realize this is happening, and it would continually use up more disk space, and also create a huge clutter. Unless you are suggesting that the only time I forcefully rename the file is if it's shared by multiple songs, but that's already being addressed with the change I made to prompt the user to rename the file (instead of just automatically renaming it) which I think is better as they will then understand what is happening.
The only question here that hasn't been addressed is whether I really need to warn/prompt or automatically rename the file when modifying a PDF that is only used by a single song. I'm arguing against this unless the vast majority of users posting here all think it should be the default behavior, as it just creates an annoyance that most users will have to deal with when they probably don't care about the original file being modified if MobileSheets is the one managing their files. Alternatively, I could change the behavior depending on whether "Let MobileSheets Manage my Files" is checked or unchecked, and warn/prompt whenever any file is modified if it's unchecked, but that wouldn't apply to the Windows or iPadOS versions where all files have to be under the storage location.
