Image upload
I see that we now have quite a few album image uploads. This is really good but I think we need some standardized way of naming them, so that we don't end up with huge amounts of duplication.
Similarly, I think we need standardized naming for all the different types of files.
Any thoughts? JohnE 14:09, 23 March 2006 (CST)
- JohnH : Last week when I found out the wiki wouldn't accept 2-character names like ab.jpg or by.jpg, and also that the image search function worked better with whole words, I started using a longer name, which would go something like this:
- 1977_My_Aim_Is_True_Album_small
- 1977_My_Aim_Is_True_Album_mediun
- 1977_My_Aim_Is_True_Album_large
- 2002_My_Aim_Is_True_Album_Rhino_small
- etc...
- Today when I saw that Paul and I were duplicating each other's album images, I went through and applied a Category label to all of them so we could see what we have.
- Whatever you guys think is fine by me though...
- JohnE 18:06, 23 March 2006 (CST): I favour the longer names, I must say, so that it is clear what they in fact are. I was wondering about having the year prefix. Is that so that the albums will be naturally sorted in chronological order on the Category page?
