Re: [Orgmode] Org-publish - too many index.org files

While this isn't exactly what you asked, I find the following useful
in my emacs config:

(require 'uniquify)
(setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'post-forward)
(setq uniquify-min-dir-content 0)
(setq uniquify-after-kill-buffer-p t)

With this, if you have:

web/index.org
web/images/index.org
web/articles/index.org

... then when the buffers are all loaded, you will have buffer names
like:

index.org|web
index.org|images
index.org|articles

I find this much more useful than index.org<1>, <2>, etc., and you
might find that it makes those buffers more manageable.
