Non-standard Sticker Back Naming

[Magnus Forsberg]

We also need to address if/how we want to name non-square/rectangular sticker backs if creation is desired.

Would be nice to have a single word to look for, like the one being used allready, "Irregular".

Are we allowed to also use the b01 for flat part-specific shapes?
For example, there are some irregular, flat back boxes which are exclusive to one part (for example technic panels)

bNN is exclusively for formed stickers.

However, while only required for square/rectangular stickers with standard corner rounding,  a stickerbackZZZxXXX can be made for any shape if there is a reuse case. That said, the follow on discussion in the thread should be what the naming for such a file will look like.

Maybe go with:
stickerbackZZZxXXX - Standard square/rectangular shape
stickerbackZZZxXXX<a-z> - Other variations

guess that would be useful to distinguish square stickers with rounded corners from irregular ones with the same dimensions...
should files like s\6155286bs01.dat and s\6155286fs03.dat be stickerback prims? (only new files or old ones too?)
what about some formed subparts with integrated backsides? also needing to get split?

I'm fine with that. What I would like is to include the underlying part number in the description for irregular stickers common enough to justify their reuse, eg. https://library.ldraw.org/parts/46835 or https://library.ldraw.org/parts/16526. This would allow to search for them on PT... A keyword would be fine too, but AFAIK they are not allowed for subparts!
