Thanks. I find Embrilliance thumbnailer to be one the best and easiest ways to put digital pictures of my PES and SVG files.
Personal preference is to leave the original file name as is although I do move or add the digitizer's name to the end. I sometimes preface the file with a simple identifier like Floral, Angel, Bookmarks, etc. and then move all files of the digitizer into one folder. Then if I ever have a problem with the file or instructions I can easily go back to the site where I got the design.
Again thank you for your lovely designs and I am thrilled that you are doing more small hoop designs. Can't wait!!!!
You give us a nice idea, Even we will start adding our website or digitizer names to our embroidery design. Thank You.

- August 29, 2013, 07:50:51 amThe Embroidery Deduper is the ONLY solution to eliminate duplicate embroidery designs and files, while automating the extraction of archive files, such as Zip and RAR files.
Here are some highlights of The Embroidery Deduper's many features :
Automatically scans your embroidery folders and detects and removes duplicate files. Just choose your embroidery folders and start it! Identifies duplicate files even if the filenames are different. Allows the ability to keep duplicates across category folders, if you'd like to do so.
Automatically keeps your most preferred embroidery file format of a given design and eliminates the less preferred formats.
Automatically extracts RAR and Zip format archives and dedups those files as well. It even handles nested archives of unlimited depth.
Now includes the Folder Consolidation Feature, which examines folders for cases in which it may not be desired to have a separate sub-folder and offers to "move" the embroidery files in the sub-folder to the parent folder. Clean up all those sub-folders that are only storing a few designs in them! The Folder Consolidation Feature makes it easy for you to get your embroidery category folders more "compact", allowing you to find your designs faster.
Automatically identifies potentially corrupt archive files and puts them in an isolated quarantine folder, for your later review.
Preference settings such as Duplicate Detection Level, duplicate preservation, quarantine location and preferred format settings are fully customizable and can be saved as defaults or on a per-project basis.
It's Fast! The Embroidery Deduper can process thousands of files in a matter of seconds. Speeds exceeding 200 files / second are not uncommon, depending on your system configuration, duplicate file density and number of archive files.
Drag and Drop capability. Simply set your preferences, drag the folder you want to clean up and drop it into the Embroidery Deduper window, press the "Begin Dedup!" button and you're off! It's that simple! You can save the project to a project file, making it even simpler in the future!
The Embroidery Deduper is the fastest and most thorough way to tidy up your embroidery folders. It's the perfect tool to clean up your "Downloads" folder before you categorize your designs
