Name giving of documents

Images

The principle idea is that pictures should have a human recognisable file name that differentiates it from other files.

* IMG1234 is hard to read or understand
* John_Doe_portret is recognisable

Logo's

  • naming: brand_name_logo
  • additional a time span can be added
Example
* ADB_Logo_till_1950s

Collection pieces

  • naming: Collection_collection_number
  • when there are multiple pictures, a reference to the exact content can be added
    • _top, _back, _front, _detail, _logo, _type_plate, …
Example
* TEAD_0123_front
* KSB_0386
