Image Naming Conventions

For easy management name you images based upon their product name or code and use. On large installtions it can also be useful to have the product category.

I add a "_tb" to the end of the name part (before the file extension) for thumbnail images. The display images are left as is.

E.g, product_code_tb.gif, product_code.jpg

category_product_name_tb.gif

frying_pan_tb.gif
or
kitchen_frying_pan_tb.gif

As you may have several products with similar names, you may prefer to use the product code.
kitchen_12343_tb.gif


Note that all the image names are in lowercase. There are no spaces or non alpha numeric characters other than the underline.
