It's a minor nitpick, but anyway, what's up with naming your pdf files like this 'dm.pdf'? What's wrong with 'Algorithms_for_Decision_Making.pdf' of even adding the 'Mykel_Kochenderfer,Tim_Wheeler,Kyle_Wray_-_' prefix?
I can't put a proper name in a "save" dialog until I open the book, and I need to save it first!
I sound so annoyed because I recently downloaded 'hist.pdf', 'fxtbook.pdf' and 'V090212S.pdf' Is it just to get a memorable file URL? If so, humanity invented simlinks long ago.
Wild guess is that the main document LaTeX file is called "dm.tex", so the resulting PDF would be called "dm.pdf".
Making the main file named something more verbose would impact you whenever you try to open it, but in an ideal world, you'd rename it once it gets to the point of it not needing many changes.
I very much doubt that the book ends up on a web server as a result of some LaTeX-CI rather than being uploaded by a person.
I'm trying to be considerate and provide a uniquely identifiable file name whenever I make some available to the public. In my opinion, books require the full name and revision, and, as I've already mentioned, you can have a link to it (or a copy) with a short name if you'd like to have an option of a short URL for verbal link transmission.
