Changes here attempt to address the Feature Request for [Non-Unique Titles and File Names](https://discourse.notenik.app/t/non-unique-titles-and-filename-field/409).

This change has required a lot of modifications to the some of the fundamental Notenik plumbing, even when continuing to use the Title as a unique ID, so lots of testing – with both existing Collections and new Collections with alternate IDs – will be appreciated.

This beta version is no longer available. Look for a [later beta release](https://discourse.notenik.app/c/beta-versions/17) or the most recent [Mac App Store release](https://discourse.notenik.app/c/announcements/6).

Minimal testing done at this point but the simplest task, which is to have a duplicate title, is successful.

I have set “title + date” and the file names are accurate, while the title is an exact duplicate.

I’ll certainly be doing more testing tomorrow. I have a collection at work for which duplicate titles make sense. Currently they have titles which are differentiated by the section that they are in. It’s a form of data duplication that doesn’t really get in the way, though I’ve had to explain why I have done that for one colleague.

I think this change will lower the friction for new users.

Thanks for this update! The beta seems to work very well especially for the core use case of multiple notes with the same title. I did find some attachment and linking issues with 13.9.3, but they seem to have been resolved with 13.9.4. Will continue testing and report bugs if I find any.
