Default Request for renaming files b4 uploading

Could I ask all the nice Pic'nClip posters to rename their files to something "readable", or something that does not need renaming rightaway after the download.

Example out of practice:

Rename a file "LBW13M_White_Bed" to "LBoyle@WhiteBed" b4 you upload it.

If you leave a space it will be replaced by a _; so just don't make spaces. I know it's a bit more work for you posters. I use the capital to indicate that there are 2 words. LisaBoyle would of course be equally good. These short names are from the DOS times; I don't see why we should keep on using them.

Other example:

"lb_evolution" could better be renamed as "LBoyle@Evolution" or LBoyleatEvolution or just LBoyleEvolution. Make sure to use capitals to draw the attention that it's not 1 word. And use 3 digits starting from 001 and not 000.

I use this system now for quite some time and I guarantee you it's much easier to find something back. And if on top of that you put all the babes whit the same name in the same bag (folder), it's even more fun.

But of course this is just a friendly advice, it's finally up to you

Thanks, it saves 1000 of people a lot of work.
