Digital File Naming Conventions
The way you name your files can have a drastic effect on compatibility between computers and the integrity of the file. Below are a few guidelines for you to follow.
- Use lower case characters for files and folders. Camel letters (This Is An Example) is used more and more, but still may be unreadable with older operating systems.
- Do not use spaces. If you need to have a space between words, use the underscore symbol <_> rather than a space.
- Do not use any punctuation (.,;:!?) except at the end of the file name linking the extension (filename.doc or filename.jpg).
- Always make sure you include the dot three extension on your file (.doc .jpg .htm). An exception to this would be .html for web documents, which will accept a four-digit extension. You can also set up preference in most software to save files in this manner.
- An ideal number of characters would be eight-dot three, meaning eight characters followed by a dot then the three-letter extension (filename.jpg is an example). If you prefer longer filenames, make sure their maximum number of characters is 32, including the dot three extension.
Following the above conventions can assure compatibility with multiple platforms and older software programs.
