Veldkornet Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Would it be possible to change the naming format for camera backups on your iPhone? Currently it is something like:My iPhone 5s - DSC00045.jpgWhile I'm more looking for something where the file name is the date and time that the photo is taken, like:YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS.jpgTo be honest, the only reason I'm not using the camera backup option is because of the naming format...

Helen Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Veldkornet, BitTorrent Sync takes the default name of photos and adds the device's name at the beginning. We will consider changing the names in future releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonnan Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Please consider not changing the filenames of the images. There are other applications better suited for renaming files while importing photos/videos (i.e. Lightroom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veldkornet Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Veldkornet, BitTorrent Sync takes the default name of photos and adds the device's name at the beginning. We will consider changing the names in future releases. Thanks! Please consider not changing the filenames of the images. There are other applications better suited for renaming files while importing photos/videos (i.e. Lightroom). DropBox does it? Besides, why would I want to open my pc to rename a ton of photos all the time when the app can just do it automatically during the upload? The aim is not to make things more difficult. At least having the option to choose the type of naming format would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungarianhc Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 +1 to the original request. Although, I'd much rather see some much more basic improvements in the iOS app like proper iPhone 6 / 6+ resolutions and ESPECIALLY the usage of iOS 8 extensions so i can natively integrate the app into my regular workflow.

Moe Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 The iOS version to work with 2.0 is currently in public beta testing.I just hope that they will give an option to name the files whatever we want. Like mutie options on how to sequentially name them with a pattern.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleksr Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) +1 from me on this one. I've just started using Camera backup, and found out that there is no way to set up a naming convention for the backed up photos. I was using Dropbox till now and switched to BitTorrent Sync. Dropbox was using the YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS.jpg format. This naming convention is the most suitable for me also. I think that offering users a way to setup their own naming conventions for camera backups is a must. Is there any info if this feature would be implemented any time soon?

Sriver Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 +1 from me too, I just stop using resilio camera backup option because of this only. I am using plex backup now but I really want to use resilio camera backup option as it is more reliable and easy. I am asking because if I setup my phone as new than all new photo start 0001 and overwrite old photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
