RDMbites | Machine and human readable file naming

In this RDMbite I will show you how to name your files so that they can be read and interpreted by yourself and others.
This includes filenames that are both machine-readable and human-readable, also using punctuation to be able to order and group sets of files.
Although we use examples of how to name files in this RDMbite, this information can also be used to name directories and folders.
