I don't use the file name as the label for my bookport entries.
Therefore, when I download a monthly issue of a magazine and want to keep
the previous month, I use the end of file to let me know which issue I've
already read. If you could have bookport increment the entry name in the
directory there is a duplicate name, it would help me to keep track of the
duplicate volumes.
