Proper file naming convention within the MediaStorm platform can save you tons of time down the line. MediaStorm has complied some guidelines to help you get started right. Remember, it is best to develop a consistent system based on elements that are important to the project.
- Files should be named consistently
- Avoid special characters or spaces in a file name
- Use capitals and underscores instead of periods or spaces or slashes
-
Elements To Consider Using In A Naming Convention Are:
- Date of creation (putting the date in the front will facilitate computer aided date sorting)
- Creator
- Project name or number
- Sequence Order
- Version number
Some Examples of well thought out naming systems:
- 2022_Joe_Smith_ProjectName_001.jpg
- Year_Photographer_Name_ProjectName_SequenceOrder
- Year-Category No.-Place-Photographer Last Name-01
