+
*** Images as .png or .jpg files
* Name of the meeting. Write it capitalized
 
* Name of the session. Write it lower case
 
* Content type. Write it capitalized, e.g. "Notes"
 
* Number, if there is a series of files with same file name and file extension, e.g. multiple photos documenting the notes of the one single session. The first value is 01, then 02 and so on
 
 
 
Example: AspirationABCDigitalRightsSummitspeedgeeking01
 
 
 
Please note:
 
* Never use punctuation or spaces when creating file names
 
* Always save pictures as .jpg files and texts as .pdf files
