[GIT] Image naming

Unread post by pcamelio »

Hi,
Automatic image naming doesn't work nicely with multi users working on the same document with Git Repo.
Case:
Users A and B are working on the same document.
They sync the Git Repo in the same time.
User A :
- Add a new image (PASTE from screenshoot) => automatic naming is img123.png
User B :
- Add a new image (PASTE from screenshoot) => automatic naming is img123.png

User A save and git push
User B save and git push and the merge can't be done :(

If automatic naming could add %timestamp% or %username% for the image name instead juste an increment number in the Git Repository situation, it would be great.

Best regards

Hi Philippe,

This is a great point and I've passed it on directly to the development team. Even so, as a general rule, we recommend not using the automatic names as they are not descriptive. 8)

Excellent suggestion! We will implement this with the next update and include username/machine name, if a project is under version control.
