Capital Letters and spaces when naming files or images

When I first started creating a web page, I was under the impression that I should only use lower case and use an underscore instead of a space. Is this still the case or have things moved on since then.
If not, could somebody please let me know when I should use Capital Letters and spaces.
Does it affect google ratings or any search engine ratings in any way.
Thanks to all who have answered my previous posts. I do not know what I would have done without this forum.
All the best to all and thanks again.

No change.
Stick to A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphen and underscore. Avoid spaces and special characters such as ?, ! and #.
It's a matter of differences in server operating systems. Spaces in filenames can be read differently by different servers and may lead to broken links.
Javascript and some operating systems (e.g. Linux) are case sensitive.
On Linux: MyPic.jpg is a different file to mypic.jpg
In addition, Uppercase/lowercase is partly a question of consistency to avoid user error.
Some users here have inexplicable (to them) errors because Images/image.jpg and images/image.jpg are two different paths.
Choose a simple, logical (and legal) file naming convention (e.g. all lowercase) which you find most comfortable and stick to it at all times.

  • My Defined brush duplicates itself over and over when applied to any image!!!??

    Hi there, I recently loaded in my signature for my photography and each time I click the signature to apply it to an image it appears fine, however when it is applied to the image it is replicated about 6 times in a pattern effect!
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much! I figured it out!

  • Can Aperture Read the camera's sequential number metedata when naming files

    Before I started using Aperture I would use this naming convention in Bridge to batch rename files and It works great because it avoids duplicate file names and the files are in sequential order
    my last name(Blake)YYYYMMDDfour digit NON RESETTING sequential number, generated by my Nikon D2X. I don't have any duplicate file names unless I shoot more that 9999 images in one day.
    Has anybody found the option to use the camera's generated sequence number in Aperture's file naming scheme. I sure can't. I know that you can set a four digit sequence but that sequence doesn't start where the sequence leaves off in the previous import.
    Thanks

    I have two workarounds
    1. Rename the files in bridge after like I have always done and then import the folder as an Aperture project without changing the file names. I use photo mechanic to download the files from the card.
    2. Go to the library smart folders to see what was the last project I imported and check the four digit sequence before the file name extension. Set the sequential counter in Aperture to start at the next sequential number where the last file left off.
    I have to use the four digit sequence instead of using the date and Time sequence. It is very convenient for my clients to give me the four digit sequence when telling me what images they want prints from,etc. Avoids any confusion.
    I did request this feature of using the camera's generated file name in Apple's feedback link for future inhancements.
    thanks for your responses

  • Crashing in PS CS and Quark when opening files over network

    Mac Pro and MacBook Pro 10.4.8 using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Quark 6.52 will crash or become VERY unstable when opening files from server or remote machine. Server is 10.3.9 or remote Mac running 10.4.7, all works fine IF file are copied to client machine, but cannot use -File/Open dialog. This is a network isue in relation to Intel translation, is there a fix (Rosetta?)

    Try looking for some "special" characters in file or folder names ( e.g. / or ?).
    I had similar problems with PPC-Apps (InDesign CS2 and 4D Client 2003) since 10.4.7 and 10.4.8. App crashes or shows strange grey boxes on the screen when I tried to open files over the network, no probs with same files locally.

  • Msn looses letters and pictures when opened

    when i open msn under safari as my home page the letters,words,what ever just dissappear when the mouse pointer goes over them.i have to reload 4 or more times to get it to stop.i have since tried firefox and dont have this problem. what cause this?

    Yes. Since iPhoto is now linked to the proper library you can delete those other library folders.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Excel 2010 Freezes while saving and computing when large files are opened.

    Hi
    The issue with with MS Office Excel 2010, where in if i open big files like greater than 40 or 50 mb file while saving or computing it takes lot of time
    like say 10 to 15 seconds and some times more also.
    This file i am referring is having around 5,000 row data and with around 15 sheets and has formula's and functions built into it.
    As and when i try to delete or update one of the same the status bar show processing message and starts processing from 0 to 100% this takes
    lot of time and during i feel my excel is frozen or system hanged kind of situation.
    The query is what is the limitation of file size which can be opened in Excel 2010 where i can work with the same without any freeze or hanging.
    need the same for Excel 2007 and 2013 versions also.
    Note : other office products like work, power point works fine without any issue.

    Hi,
    I didn't find the exact size of the limitation of size for Excel 2010, but as for Excel 2013, I can tell you this:
    32-bit environment is subject to 2 gigabytes (GB) of virtual address space, shared by Excel, the workbook, and add-ins that run in the same process. A data model’s share of the address space might run up to 500 – 700 megabytes (MB), but could be less if
    other data models and add-ins are loaded.
    64-bit environment imposes no hard limits on file size. Workbook size is limited only by available memory and system resources.
    I think the articles below will be very helpful to you:
    Excel specifications and limits
    For 2007:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010073849.aspx?CTT=1
    For 2010:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010342495.aspx?CTT=1
    For 2013:http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HA103980614.aspx?CTT=1
    Anyway, many factors may cause the freeze, such as hardware and add-ins, you may try starting Excel in Safe Mode to determine if it's add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “excel /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

  • Can't preserve opacity and gradients when viewing file outside of illy.

    Okay, so my image is basically a series of very intricate geometries, (made up of lines), superimposed over an image of the milky way.
    Some of the lines have 85 opacity and some have radial gradients applied to them.
    I'm wanting to email my file to someone who doesn't use illy, for them to view so I want the file to be able to be viewed in whatever program eg; acrobat.
    So I saved it as a pdf and opened it to make sure it looked the same but to my dismay the image didn't preserve any opacity or gradients.
    I'm sure it's something really simple but I'm a total illy noob so I have no idea what to do. It's quite important that I send this file asap and as it looks when in illy with opacity and gradients.
    Would be very grateful if an adobe guru out there could help me asap!

    When you saved the file as a PDF which you choose in the first dialog box that comes up on saving you will get another dialog box in which you choose the version and settings for the PDF. Try something like the following
    then
    and then
    See if this works.

    I also tried the "ade diff -gui " command but the problem remains the same.
    The file sizes are:
    existing jazn: 2.2 MB
    new jazn : 3.4 MB
    Thanks,

    The way i do is..
    setenv ADE_MERGE_METHOD tkmerge
    use the ade diff -gui command
    then unset the ADE_MERGE_METHOD to default by using the following.
    unsetenv ADE_MERGE_METHOD
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I get downloads e.g. Adobe reader 10 with FF Beta4.8 using XP home sp3 and NIS11 when the file downloads and then auto-deletes before I can use it?

    The downloads folder does not save files when they are downloaded.
    problem particularlly with binary files e.g. adobe reader 10
    NIS has been deactivated and problem persists.
    Initially downloads are canceled. When retry option is selected file downloads in window but sub directory shows file while downloading and then it is deleted

  • Out of disk space when copying files from server to server

    Servers: NW 5.1.7
    Workstation: Windows 98SE with client32 v3.4
    There is a batch file that copies files from server A to server B. At certain point, the copying gets stuck and message is displayed on the workstation: ""Network Status. Client32: out of disk space writing file to server B." Unless I press OK, the copying will not continue. There's plenty of space and memory, no quotes or user restrictions on server B. This procedure worked for years without any problem and nothing was altered on the servers or workstation at time of occurrence.

    Did you purge the volumes ?
    How high is ratio between compressed and noncompressed data on volumes?
    I assume, that for this usage (copy one server to another) you should
    seek the different way (program), which transfer the compressed data
    with untouched state of compression.

  • How to overwrite ratings and keywords when moving files?

    I have just edited a number of photos on my computer by adding ratings and keywords.  I tried to export them to an external hard drive, so I could free up space on my computer, but I discovered that copies of those photos already existed on the external HD.  I selected the "overwrite" option, but the ratings and keywords didn't copy over from the computer versions to the hard drive versions.  Is there a way of doing that?
    Thanks!

    I detect a lot of confusion here.
    Originally, you want to move a photo to your external HD to free up space on your computer's internal HD. That's what you said.
    Then later, you said that your backups are on your external HD.
    So, if you are successful at moving photos from your internal HD to your external HD (however you do it), then you no longer have backups of those photos. This is not a good thing. Now, you have only ONE copy of these moved photos (you used to have two). Furthermore, when your external HD fails (and it will), now you have ZERO copies of these photos. ZERO copies is not good. ZERO copies is bad. You are living dangerously.
    You need to address this issue, most likely by purchasing more disk space, and then beginning regular, automatic backups so that you always have two copies of each photo, one copy on each of two physically distinct drives.
    Next source of confusion ... you seem to be implying that copies of photos on both hard drives are cataloged in Lightroom. This seems unnecessary and a way to cause confusion. I wouldn't do things this way.

  • How to filter the file type and size when uploadind files into APEX

    Hi,
    I was wondering how I can do to validate the size of a file, before moving it to my table ? I'd like to filter the file type, but for this one, I think I can use regular expressions in a validation process.
    I don't know if there is a way to read the file size even before sending it into the temporary file table.
    Thank you
    Leinad

    Hello Leinad,
    AFAIK, you have to create an APEX validation (PL/SQL returns Boolean or Returns error text), which will query the file details from apex_flow_files table. Here you can get filetype and size etc.
    So just validate and if any validation fails, then delete the file from apex_flow_files and riase error message.
    Regards,
    Hari
    P.S. Please note that, if there are other apex validations on your page and if they fail, still apex will load the file into apex_flow_files table. So it's good idea to create a validation (PL/SQL) which will fire (condition) when inline validation errors occured. Make sure that this is the LAST validation on your page in sequence. And here you can write code to delete the file from apex_flow_files table.
