And a tiered labeling method using a separator, such as a hyphen, could
be employed.
One example might be dialog-box title-subitem1-subitem2--for one
employing three tiers. Another might be:
File-command-subcommand-subsubcommand, etc.

The method I employ for labeling screen captures is typically
including a descriptive term used in the dialog-box title, submenu

Hi :)
Yes, i think Fig1 etc is not much more descriptive. I'm guessing
that Hazel really meant something more along the lines of
"SaveAs-dialogue" or "ChartCreate1" or whatever

In several user guides, we advise users to give their graphics
useful names rather than sticking with the default Graphic1, etc.
Yet we don't follow this advice ourselves!
If graphics were given easily recognisable names (for example
numbered graphics being called Fig1, Fig2, etc., and inline graphics
things like FooIcon), then it would be much easier to handle the
"disappearing graphics" problem. The initial .odt file could be
copied and unzipped, and if any graphics were not shown in Writer,
they could be retrieved from the graphics subdirectory and displayed
alongside with a simple display program like xv, feh or eog. This
would make editing/proofing much easier.
Even if the file was actually stripped of graphics on saving (as
shown by a drastic reduction in its size), the graphics themselves
would be safe and could be zipped and uploaded along with the text
file.
One obvious problem with naming graphics Figx is that an addition or
deletion or rearrangement of them will alter the numbering somewhat.
