Variant site problem
I have named my pictures eaxmple
filename=”123”
Problem when I upload the site the name of the main site file is now
[not email]123@2x.jpg[/email]
How can I loose the @2x
Also is this the best way to keep the image filename filename="123"
[not email]123@2x.jpg[/email] is for retina devices. You should have both 123.jpg and [not email]123@2x.jpg[/email] in your exported folder :)
Naming images as a number is a very poor idea.
That was just an exampleQuote:

A bad example! Never use numbers as names

The @2x version is the retina resolution version of the image. The @2x is a standard convention for double-density variants of images.
You should also have the original.
If you don't want to include hi res images, the ones with the @x2 title, go to Web Properties / Website / Untick the Retina (hi def) images.
... and the reason for this is Xara applications generate image filenames using a sequential numbering system that might conflict with a used-defined filename that was a number...Quote:

..I think it's a bad idea even if Xara does it.
Even Patrick McGooghan agreed.
Disagree, the only number clash was for No 2s!Quote:

It's rare to hear such problems, maybe it's just because of your default settings, which makes your renaming photos that way.

Are you spamming? You list no Xara products in your profile. If you did use Xara products for web design, you would know that Xara automatically renames image files to numbers, so your tutorial link (which contains a glaring typo "Step1. Click "Next Step" to editing window, then click "Renmae" tab to rename all of your images in seconds.") is not appropriate to this discussion.
If you used Xara products you would know how to ensure a named image retains its name when published.
Please restrict your tutorial links to those appropriate to the products being discussed.
Excuse me, Mr. Force. Your post #1 on this thread has a nonsensical email link, which I removed.
You're welcome.
