Re: Tale of a Tile

[Doug Welch <welch@physics.mcmaster.ca>]

Hi Tom,

I have mixed emotions about changing the filenaming convention.
On balance, however, it is true that more people will search for
frames by sky position than by any other value. So, I support this
change. On thing I would request is leading zeroes so that filenames
can be parsed by string position.

Cheers,
Doug
