Hi Rob, Yes I could use any prefixes, but since we used terms "board" and "test" which combined give "sample", I wanted to keep the same vocabulary. But I can set no prefix at all too, I agree. I wanted to be able to distinguish those generated from others, but I also agree users don't have this background, and don't have to.
About pictype: do you mean users may copy/paste all samples from each pic directory to a single directory ? If so, then OK, we should also add the PIC name. So: * OK for removing "sample_" prefix, provided there's no collision * OK for adding PIC type Let's also wait for more feedback from others to see their point of this.
