Quick TIPS for Filenames

1. No spaces
2. Use alphanumeric characters (avoid symbols etc., hyphen – and underscore _ are OK)
3. Use logical filenames

Examples
photo 1.jpg: not a good filename because it doesn’t describe the contents of the file, and the filename contains a space
redballoon.jpg: is a good filename, as you know exactly what the file contains and the name contains no spaces
red@balloon.jpg: an invalid filename because of the symbol contained in the filename
