Duplicate notebook names

[ae6dx 1]

I see notebooks can not have the same name.  I wish there was a way to have two notebooks with the same name if they each were in a different stack.

If you're saving a note to a notebook you don't always see which stack it's in.  Having two notebooks with identical names would be apt to lead to errors - as in sending a note by email (forinstance) to @<notebook>.  There's no option yet to specify which stack.

Stacks are just a visual thing and not a real structure. It isn't like having two files with the same name in different folders.

Ah ok my mistake.  I was thinking of stacks as more like folders.

The way I handle this is to use StackName_FolderName. For instance, I have a Misc folder in several stacks, preceded by the stack name.
