What is a good naming scheme for imported images?

[Zachary Storer]

Hello,

When importing images into a tiddler with _canonical_uri, I'm currently naming the tiddler ImageSkateboard, and then I'm tagging the image with an [Image] tag.

I'm wondering if there is a better way to name the actual tiddler than ImageTiddlerNameHere, especially since I already have an [Image] tag.

How do you name and tag tiddlers for imported images or other multimedia?

Thanks.

Zachary,

For me this would depend on if I need the title of the image to be searchable or not, for me usually not. Personally I use a business name and projectname as follows

$:/business/project/images/imagename

eg

$:/PSaT/MyMenus/images/Hamburger.jpg

Then when I assign or display images I use this full name, or get tricky with the `[prefix[$:/PSaT/MyMenus/images/]]` I often place the image name into a icon or other field as well.

In time I hope to automate the addition of such name prefixes into the import process.

Regards

Tony
