Thanks again Lee, this great suggestion has been implemented and pushed to the main repository.

I also added a short description of the `--output' option immediately after the examples in the "Invoking ImageWarp" section of the book, or top of the info page when you run `info astimgwarp'. One of the examples now also uses the `--output' option.

This item has been reassigned from the project GNU Astronomy Utilities support tracker to your tracker.

The original report is still available at support #109225

Following are the information included in the original report:

[field #13]                  Summary: Meaningful file name suffixes
[field #14]      Original Submission: I believe it would be more user friendly if singular image transformations made with ImageWarp produce files with meaningful suffixes.

For example a suffix of '_rotated.fits' for when the user only calls '--rotate', or '_aligned.fits' for when the user only calls '--align'. The generic '_warped.fits' suffix should remain for when the user explicitly inputs a rotation matrix or when multiple transformations are requested.

As an aside, it may be useful to remind the user inside the ImageWarp info file that a user-specified output filename may always be specified on the command line using the '--output' or '-o' arguments. I realise that this information is already available in the 'Common options' section of the manual, but, as with most other software packages, reminding the user of these facilities at every possible opportunity (and providing links back to the part of the manual which discusses them in greater detail) is never a bad thing.
