Remove the random string in the sprite filename If you don’t want the random string that’s appended to the filename when a new sprite is created, here’s how to remove it. You will need to add this to config.rb inside your Compass project.

compass-sprite-removehash.rb

# Make a copy of sprites with a name that has no uniqueness of the hash.
on_sprite_saved do |filename|
  if File.exists?(filename)
    FileUtils.cp filename, filename.gsub(%r{-s[a-z0-9]{10}\.png$}, '.png')
    # Note: Compass outputs both with and without random hash images.
    # To not keep the one with hash, add: (Thanks to RaphaelDDL for this)
    FileUtils.rm_rf(filename)
  end
end
 
# Replace in stylesheets generated references to sprites
# by their counterparts without the hash uniqueness.
on_stylesheet_saved do |filename|
  if File.exists?(filename)
    css = File.read filename
    File.open(filename, 'w+') do |f|
      f << css.gsub(%r{-s[a-z0-9]{10}\.png}, '.png')
    end
  end
end
