[Q] HTC One M8 Camera file naming convention?

lagvoid said:

Has anyone come across a method to change the file naming convention on the HTC One M8? I want to have the date and time stamp included in the file name like other Android devices utilize. This not only helps easily identify the images without checking image meta data, but eliminates duplicate file names after flashing new roms.

run the free program on your old files and it'll rename them according to the exif date data.

I noticed that when I installed Dropbox, it automatically saved all my pictures and videos on my computer with the format you're requesting. This still doesn't solve the issue where it's fixed on my phone, but it wouldn't be too hard to just copy and paste them back after they're all uploaded to Dropbox. Good luck!
