       Question: Do people rename their photo taken from their camera/phones from IMG20250717101350.jpeg to something else? And would they find it useful to display it on the main photo grid view of a Photos app? As far as I know, neither the macOS, iOS, Android nor Windows photos app display this information on their grid view.I personally find the automatic sorting by location, time or faces much more useful to navigate a photo album.

       @carl Got a photo album with thousands scanned material from 1900 to now, I rename all to YYYYMMDD_hhmmssmillisec I simply hate when phone use prefix IMG_ or VID_; mimetype is a thing, no need to annunce the data type in the filename...I also hate how Signal/WhatsApp/Messenger and all this apps are renaming photos, destroy original filenames and flush the Exif of the photos. Really inferior way to share photos but so common... I made bash script here to reconstruct Exif and rename photos.

       @carl Btw, if someone is interested by my Bash script, I uploaded it here: https://invent.kde.org/-/snippets/3523 Around line 175 there is a long list of common gibberish that digital camera and apps input in filenames collected over 20 years (like DSC_***, ***_BURST, ***_HDR, IMG_***, etc... ).
