Where is a NewFinalAnal.PSD?

that's after Finalsuck&Fuck.PSD

I don't get it ...

I also use numbers
final_001
final_002
final_002b
final_002c
final_003_whereisthegun

Depending on the client there can be :

EvenMoreAnal.PSD and it's versions:
EvenMoreAnalHurt.PSD
NewAnalMore.PSD...

for some reason, I never got rid of naming my psd files by literally hitting the keyboard...

refasgrefgrqeg.psd
fdeginhiaefgheir.psd

:(

There's a designer on this forum whom I will not name... I saw the directory structure he keeps work files in at his house once.

Swear to god - it's exactly like that. 15 folders with varying amounts of explamation points for the name

1.1
1.2
1.3
1.4
1.5
1.6
1.7....
1.7.7.
1.7.8.
1.8.9.

True to this. :thumbsup

If you had as many family members die in 6 months as the average designer, you would try to simplify things too.

Best joke ever.

a sad true :(

Cool but some r very long.

that's because special characters go in front of the letters so the folders are kept above normally named ones. I just assume it becomes such a habit you just start doing that hehe

I keep my special folders above rest with underscore "_"
/_assets/
/_fonts/
/general/
/etc/

Oh God! This is SOOOO incredibly accurate! :thumbsup :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So I'm the only one that does:

-
--
---
----
-----

?

Cannot tell you how many times i've done this for all manner of files too - after a while it turns into - then -- then --- to make sure they show at the top

probably not buddy :)

/project-name/v1.0.psd
/project-name/v1.1.psd
/project-name/v1.2.psd
/project-name/v1.3.psd
/project-name/v1.4.psd
/project-name/v1.5.psd

It's always, can you try this, change that? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Still don't get it ...

One of the main reasons I stopped designing for others except for a little chosen few who trust me.

Some peeps can't make up their mind and don't know what they want, so you have to guess... It takes you 3 hours of work and it takes them 3 seconds to say NO....

"I'll know when I'll see it" .. Yeah and what ? until then I gotta read your mind ?... :Oh crap

Was sometime very, very frustrating :2 cents:

Ok Ok... Have a nice week end... Felt good to share :thumbsup

I don't do like that. This is what I do.

Not in lazy mood:

File1
File12
File123
File1234

Lazy mood:

File1
File1fsdfsf
File1fsdfsfgfergragg
File1fsdfsfgfergragg23r2rgfergge


EDIT: I am not designer (profession).

usually it's mod-01.psd and that's it. but sometimes it can get wild =)

Or you could use git to manage binary files!

Too much letters buddy :-)

Today i was looking a documentary about designers, programers and wicked coders and they say that this kind of saving files are very simular mental condition as taking selfies, i dont know, need to laugh or cry :helpme

I do this type of thing all the time esp if I'm php coding. But here is what I do
index.php
index_2.php
index_3.php
index-04.php (if I'm living on the edge I'll change it up)

Best thing is once you get index_3.php to look right and function right you just rename it index.php on the ftp and it's right.
