For anyone else interested, they can achieve this in the meantime - to limited extent - with automated scheduled organization using the Filen SDK, e.g. with https://github.com/szapp/filen-photo-organizer
To add to this: it would be nice if photos were automatically organized into monthly folders as well, 2024-06
for example.
As of now, photos preserve their file names during automatic camera upload. With the new helpful support of sorting them into directories, file organization has improved. Nevertheless, with increasing number of photos auto-renaming them by upload date or date taken (photos) could vastly contribute to file organization. I'd like to propose two ideas:
Simple ON/OFF option for hardcoded file pattern
In the camera upload settings there could be a new setting to enable auto-renaming based on a fixed pattern, say
YYYY-MM-DD_HHmmss.ext
formatted by date taken and if not available falling back to modification date or date uploaded.Auto-rename pattern
Surely more work requiring more considerations, would be a text field in the camera upload settings to allow building one's own renaming scheme. Consisting of available blocks like
YYYY
of date taken/uploaded, original filename, etc.In both cases it would then be great to auto append increments for filename collisions, i.e.
2024-02-27_183144_2
where 2 is an index for the second file with the same name.
