More on naming conventions…

This one is for the software developers, do your colleagues a favor by making it easy to remember the names of the fabulous tools you write.

I feel that scripts and software made for internal use should follow the naming convention of ‘nounVerb’. This provides a number of benefits such as people can easily remember the names of your tools, they are easy to find, you can use tab-completion, etc…

Some possible examples for names of tools that work with images:

dpxView
exrView
imgConvert
imgCrop
