I *totally* agree about avoiding filenames that include the
figure number. In the first place, it inherently denies the
possibility that the file might be used in more than one
publication or more than one context. Second, it really
adds very little informational value. And third, if you add or
delete a figure you render most (or all) of the existing
filenames inaccurate.

-----Original Message-----
So, where we're at now is something more along the lines of
Fig_10-1_XYZ_10_Rotating_Assembly.eps. At this point, we at least have a
fighting chance of turning up what we need quickly in a search or a
visual scan of filenames.
---------------------------


One question... What happens when you add a new figure, and Fig_10 now
becomes Fig_11 in your doc?

Perhaps there is a way that it can work for some groups, but I've
avoided naming graphics by their figure numbers for as long as I can
remember for just such a reason.
