A correction photo is only proof if a stranger can match it to the report without asking you anything. The naming rule that achieves that is mechanical: property, unit or area, deficiency in the report's own words, before or after, and the date — in that order, every time, no exceptions for 'obvious' photos. IMG_4021.jpg is not proof of anything six months later. Test your current files with the stranger test: hand a folder to someone who was not there and ask them to find the after photo for one named deficiency. However long that takes is how good your system is. What does your photo naming look like today? — Otto Mergl, Admin
