File naming conventions

The authoritative naming reference. These tables are transcluded into the relevant how-to pages, so this is the one place to edit them.

PPID web images carry type codes and an order number. Iconik tags use the bare letter; filenames use the underscore form.

  • Order tokens _1 … _9 set website display order; the type code precedes the number (e.g. T 1).
  • Codes combine when one image serves multiple roles, e.g. T S 1 = thumbnail + spec, first in order. A thumbnail that’s also the first website image gets the lowest number.
  • IMRO is the fixed suffix on published web images (e.g. PD-25518-BKAB_FRONT_IMRO.JPG); /filtered outputs omit it.
  • PPID export specs: aspect ratio 1:1, 2000×2000 px, 72 dpi, output JPG/PNG.
