Like all of the sudden you have 5 ColumnControlWindow.cxx it would now be ColumnControlWindow_joes_selected_20130218.cxx attached to previous 5 different alternatives of the .cxx file. > > > Over this > > example, ooo-logo.png and > > AOO4_website_logo.png< > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/images/AOO_logos/AOO4_website_logo.png?view=log > >exist. > > > > The logos differ.

K.I.S.S. PNG and SVG have metadata exactly for issues like this. Imagemagic can just do something like convert logo.png -set Title "Apache OpenOffice 4" -set Author "ChrisR" logo.png identify -verbose logo.png |grep Title Title: Apache OpenOffice 4 http://blog.client9.com/2007/08/editing-png-metadata-from-command-line.html > > Author is the committer and if they are representing others contribution > then they can easily indicate that is so. > > If creating a PNG based on an SVG then include the SVG path in the comment. > > > Likewise to take the time to look for the source of the image, > > since there is an SVG/ folder to link the source of them, and finally if > > there are different images (sizes) to have a common convention. > > If you would like to discuss common conventions and sizes then please > create a cwiki page and start a new thread. > > > > > If you want to review the images please go here: > > > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/images/AOO_logos/ > > Regards, > Dave > > > > -- > > Alexandro Colorado > > Apache OpenOffice Contributor > > http://www.openoffice.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor http://www.openoffice.org
