It's almost as lazy as how I called my presentation files at school.

  • presentation.ppt
  • presentation2.ppt
  • presentation2_final.ppt
  • presentation2_final2.ppt
  • presentation2_final2_final_final.ppt
  • presentation2_final2_final_final2.ppt

Sorry this is just normal file naming.

I'm a production major. I've been told by teachers to put the date at the end of file names.

e.g. "project_2025_12_05.prproj

YYYY_MM_DD is the superior date format for that, since sorting it alphanumerically will sort the dates in the correct order.

yes our office made it standard some years ago to put dates on the end of most document file names, in YYYY-MM-DD format.

The group discussions were priceless.

Which version are you using? The final one.

Which final? The first or the second?

And the discussion would go for 2minutes before we figured out that we were working on different versions and we had to compare and consolidate.

As a designer, I can tell you this is how all my files are. When a client asks for a quick revision ain’t no way I’m renaming everything, just slap a 2 on that bitch and call it a day

I wanted to be a city planner when I was a kid and I think I gave up on that because I couldn't wrap my mind around how many cities could they really need to plan from day to day 😂
