File-name rules - mainly for SubVersionSvn
Please refrain from the following characters in file and directory names.
- space (note that - and _ and : are fine)
- ;
- \ (backslash)
- / (slash)
- \r \n and alike
- parantheses, brackets, etc../
- ()
- []
- {}
- wildcards
- *
- ?
- other non-welcome characters
- kanji
- kathakana
- hiraghana
- non-ASCII characters (like East/Western European, eg. Hungarian ö ü õ û )
Do NOT commit files/dirs (in same directory) with case-change only, like "Jtag" and "JTAG". On broken (windows) systems these collide.
This applies to
- SVN
- released stuff
- other VEMS team communication
notes'
- Usernames are even stricter. Eg. jorgen is used for Jörgen.
- The file content can contain these characters when necessary.
Try to use image files compressed to reasonable size and quality.
- appr 500 kbyte for master images (usually only used as a base for smaller reworked images)
- appr. 10..100 kbyte for wiki and webshop images
- for drawings, it's recommended to clamp the background (paper) color to white (instead of a noisy 245..255 background) with a reasonable monotonous curve (Gimp, tools, color tools, curves)
