A Survey: Do You Name Your Images in a Std Way?

["Barbara Vega" <BarbaraV -at- libertyims -dot- com>]

Hi all:

When you write your documentation and you are making images galore -
whether it be an electronic document (in Robo or whatever) or PDF or
what have you, and you are making images as you go along going back and
forth to the software, going through it as you go capturing and pasting
and going through the steps and putting the images in, do you name your
images in a standard way, or do you name them haphazardly?

For example:

Do you name them with some convention, like all the buttons start with
an abbreviation BTN-SOANDSO And all the dialogs DLG-soandso? Or
4BTN-soandso - to denote Version 4 of the software, etc?

Or do you just name them Figure1 Figure2 Figure 3 to follow the numbers
they are in the manual?

Or do you just name them something that describes what they are like
FlderView1, DialogUoponEntry,  LoginBtn, etc.

I am curious as to how many of us standardize this, and if you find it
helps.



Thanks

Barb
