I do the same, but as it is possible to have the same file name in different
folders I add the folder name too the start of the file name e.g.
Family2012_JonSmit_cens1911.jpg, where Family2012 is the folder name, ensures
that all my images have a unique name.

I do similarly except using the MRIN at the beginning of the name, then
a date, then a number.
eg. 0037-1890-01
and then _e for edits, or _s for resized, or both _es, es2, etc.
So, a file-name might look like 0037-1890-01_e.tif
I don't put any names or other identifying information in the
Sorry I misspoke. In some cases I do put a description of what a file
is, such as

because there might be several children in that folder that need to be
distinguished one from the other. It's not strictly necessary because
the names are in the IPTC as well.

With respect, I don't find tying my files to a particular
software/vendor as similar at all. I share fairly freely with other
family researchers, and a tie to my personal software choices just
doesn't make logical sense to me. I can buy the rest of your argument
to some degree, as I primarily
What I meant by 'similar' was Ron's method of putting a family folder
name at the beginning of his photo file names.
I do the same; I just use MRIN's. Clearly, not all genealogy programs
use MRIN's so the meaning of the numbers could be irrelevant to someone
else. So far, that's not an issue

JLB,
Actually my 2012 is the year, and if I need more than one folder then I may
have 2012-1. But, as you correctly say, in use it is just a number which helps
to make a file name unique. I could just as easily have used RINS or MRINs in
the file name.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of publishing my research to a website which many of

Just thought I would pass along what I do which works well. The name of the
