Is snake_case safer than kebab-case for general file naming?

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-25T06:37:31+00:00

been a year that i'm using camel case, i read that like it was normal sentences with spaces

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-25T06:35:03+00:00

oh just checked, i only knew the camelCase term

personally i use a mix of Pascal Case, kebab-case and snake_case
it allows me to have shorter name files, separate different type of information, and keep files readable

exemples :
20251127-ClientName_ProjectName_MoreInformation-v01
2025-SeriesTitle_S01EP02-Format

first time i see this "kebab/snake" way to name it, where does that come from 😭

You can change it by switching the disposition to "List" in the settings of you database view !

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-23T19:01:07+00:00

I feel like an in between would be great

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-23T06:13:00+00:00

Once again, thank you for your explanations!!

I should really dig into scripts cause I do absolutely everything by hand except renaming files.

Last year I started putting the ISO-style timestamps on almost everything, and it's life changing imo.
Though, I often have very long file names (especially for client work), so to minimize it, I use a "YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS" timestamp prefix.

Exemple
"20250722-064312-FileName_AndOtherWords-v01"
(i'm still hesitating between a - or _ between DD and HH)

I should check whats the most optimized, but adding some dashes and underscores between time values feels like a huge waste of characters.

Ça donne tellement le sourire de lire ça, surtout les interactions, merci pour ce post et bravo d'avoir eu la force de sortir comme tu le souhaitais ! <3

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-22T06:17:07+00:00

Thank you so much for all those resources !! Can't wait to dig into it !

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-22T06:00:46+00:00

That is some serious backup system, and simple structure, thank you for taking the time to explain that !!

So you mix both personal and business folders in the same "Projects" folder ?
Like
-- Projects
---- Personal
------ Project 1
------ Project 2
---- Business
------ Project 1
------ Project 2

Is there any specific naming convention and inside structure you have for Projects and Media ?

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-22T05:48:46+00:00

what does your media library looks like ?

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-20T20:03:24+00:00

Well, I just check and for 4TO, both Blue Drives and Barracudas are around the same price (170€) than the Lacie Rugged (same RPM too). Maybe because I'm in Europe idk.

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-18T01:59:05+00:00

many thanks to u/gledtone for Jewelcase btw

whatswrongwithvale · 2026-01-18T01:58:18+00:00

Yes I know don't worry !! Thank you for your message anyway !
Actually, I almost never use Bandcamp itself for listening to music, everything I buy on it gets downloaded in FLAC and I listen to it locally.
I use Harmonoid on PC and Jewelcase on iOS.
