I agree,

Unless there is a problem with editing the config file, ie. editing it
doesn't allow you to set the behaviour you want, then I think this bug
can be closed.

I have had cups-pdf overwriting files with the same name, adding a
unique job number to the names, and failing silently when the name
already exists.

If this is a debate about what the default settings should be then I
think it's gone on long enough and people need to either accept the
project maintainer's decision (I'm assuming Martin is one of them) or
create a folk of the project if your that passionate about it.

The only thing I'd suggest is it might be a good idea if anyone has the
time to summarise the information in this bug as it's REALLY useful
when trying to get cups-pdf to work how you want it to.

Well there's my 20c
