I have rarely selected a photo for a player. I've let the game mechanics do all of that process for me. But now that I'm becoming more and more familiar with key players in the league and starting to implement Catobase at season's end, there arises the question of the impact of the engine's recycling of player photos.

If I'm reading everything correctly, it sounds like if I'm using the number system (which I am) then should I decide I want to forever associate a player with his photo, then I need to rename his photo file with his name file - Jim_Brumby.bmp and I don't have to wait until he's retired to do this because he will retire with his name associated with that nameID.bmp - Am I getting this?
