Available Naming Convention Options
Aryeo Recommended (Best Experience)
This is the default and recommended option. Aryeo will automatically:
Add a numerical count to the beginning of each image file name
Preserve the original file name after the count
Follow the order that the images are arranged in the listing
Example
If you upload:
123-Sunny-Ln-Exterior.jpg
123-Sunny-Ln-Interior.jpg
They will download as:
1-print-123-Sunny-Ln-Exterior.jpg
2-print-123-Sunny-Ln-Interior.jpg
Great for ensuring clean, consistent filenames and avoiding duplicates.
Original Filenames
This option keeps the original file name exactly as it was uploaded.
Warning: If two files have the same name, one may override the other during download, resulting in lost or missing images.
Original Filenames Ordered
This option keeps the original file name exactly as it was uploaded and adds a numerical count to the beginning of each image file name.
Address-Based File Names
This option names files based on the listing address and adds numbers in the order they’re arranged.
Example
For a listing at 123 Main Street, files will download as:
1-print-123-main-st.jpg
2-print-123-main-st.jpg
3-print-123-main-st.jpg
This is ideal for keeping files organized by address while removing reliance on original file names.
