7 tips to manage your files better on 2009-08-31
- Use Documents
- Adopt consistent methods for file and folder naming. Develop a naming scheme for the kinds of files you create most often and then stick to it
- 3 more annotations...
- - Keep names short. Even though Windows allows you to use long file names, it does not necessarily mean you should. Long file names are harder to read.
  - Don't save unnecessary files. Be selective about the files you keep. You probably don't need to keep them all. With e-mail, for example, you rarely need to keep everything you receive.
  - Color code your folders. I have a third party program which allows me to "color" certain folders in Documents that I use every day. This allows me quick access to open or save a document

File Naming Conventions on 2009-08-25
- Don't add extraneous punctuation to the file name
- For example, don't
  use #. %, forward or back slashes, ampersands, and question marks or any other strange
  glyph. Stick mostly to letters and numbers. Dashes and underscores are OK.
  
  Good: my_file.jpg
  
  Bad: my/file.jpg
- 4 more annotations...
- - Don't put more than one period in the file name. Use only one period
    at the end of the file name just before the three-letter suffix.
    
    Good: very_big_splash.jpg
    
    Bad: very.big.splash.jpg
  - Don't omit the 3-letter suffix. Add the correct 3-letter suffix to the
    file name if none is created by the application program. ALL web browsers require a suffix
    to be able to tell a picture file from a text file, for example. Don't add inaccurate
    suffixes either. If you name a TIF file "goodpicture.jpg", the picture won't
    display properly on a web browser. For a list of PC file name suffixes, go to suffix.htm.
    
    Good: promopic.gif
    
    Bad: promopic.newone
    
    Bad: promopic
  - Avoid spaces in filenames
  - Most experienced web designers use underscores in the file name to separate words for
    clarity
