Since you are limited in the number of characters, I have been reflecting on
this myself. I am going to give the picture a name that corresponds with
the individuals number on TMG, so if John Anderson is person 1656, then I
will name the picture 1656. I have thought about taking an alpha letter on
the end to denote different picture types but am still working on that (for
example a photo of the individual, a scanned deed that may relate to him,
etc.) Then for group pictures, I will attempt to give a brief name. That
way you can view your list in windows and know immediately which relates to
an individual and which relates to a group of folks.
