1. it would be great if one could change the starting number of the IMG_0001 photo naming numbering sequence, do that numbers/names are not duplicated whenever i upgrade to a new phone
2. it would also be great if the numbers were increased to 5 digits, since these days many of us take so many photos and screen shots, once we hit 9,999, it starts over, therefore duplicating filenames/number. Let's at least increase to 99,999 until it starts over... or even 6 digits
#1 You could use 3rd party apps to automatically rename the images. I personally rename them based on EXIF as 2024-1124-0902-48.jpg etc with GraphicConverter so the date is stored also there and images sort correctly in list views by date.
#2 DCIM directory and file structure does not allow that. Some DJI device did not and then users complained that apps did not recognize it as a camera when trying to import files.
The folder structure and file names should be along theses lines:
DCIM
100MEDIA
DJI_0628.DNG
DJI_0629.DNG
DJI_0630.MP4
DJI_0630.SRT
DJI_0631.MP4
DJI_0631.SRT
etc
The file system of an appropriately formatted devics -- for example, an SD card plugged into a digital camera -- must be FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT. Media with 2 GB or larger of space should be formatted with FAT32 or exFAT.
The DCIM directory can -- and usually does -- contain multiple subdirectories. The subdirectories each consist of a unique three-digit number -- from 100 to 999 -- and five alphanumeric characters. The alphanumeric characters aren't important, and each camera maker is free to choose their own.
Inside each subdirectory are the image files themselves, which represent the photos you take. Each image file's name starts with a four-digit alphanumberic code -- which can be anything the camera maker wants -- followed by a four digit number. For example, you'll often see files named DSC_0001.jpg, DSC_0002.jpg, and so on. The code doesn't really matter, but it's consistent to ensure the photos you take are displayed in the order you took them.
