longer rant, with curious question at the end;

my sister asked me lately how she can change the way her phone creates the name of pictures she takes (the naming scheme), as she didn't want the name to be composed of date and time (and so on) the picture was taken, cause she had to send it to her boss
after i replied that i don't know how this could be changed and that the naming scheme would have a purpose, she got angry at me because i wouldn't help her and that i should fuckin tell where it can be changed!😡
after i repeated my answer she said "what are you studying cs for?? YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!!!😡😤"
i got furious, you guys can probably imagine as IT guy/dev 😠😠😠, given stereotypes/prejudices etc., unfortunately i'm not the guy who is good at freaking out and yelling at people, but GODDAMN IF I COULD TELL HER WHAT STUDYING THE DEGREE IS REALLY ABOUT! I'M SO FED UP WITH THIS!😤😤😤
i'm not supposed to know how her FUCKIN HONOR PHONE WORKS
WHICH I DON'T EVEN USE and never even thought about changing the naming scheme.
JUST RENAME IT AFTERWARDS!
of course her phone is so complicated that she doesn't even know how to rename the file, as she only knows how to use the google photos app (which doesn't support that?🤔) and never even considered to use the file manager ... well can't blame her for that, android isn't as simple as windows when it comes to this🤷
... in the end she just sent it, as is😪.

oh and by the way, is it actually possible?🤔

    @cb219 Find something obscure related to her field and ask her about it.

    When she doesn't know the answer, freak out on her and show what a bitch she was being.

    "sister, I study science. not how to be your personal assistant."

    and also, she can just rename the file and be done with it. EXIF data won't change anyway...

    it depends on the app.

    but it is possible, because somewhere in the app it needs to be written this is where i would try:
    1.1 : schema
    1.2 : prefix, filename
    2.1 : search an app to automate things on the phone
    2.2 : develop the app yourself

    wouldn't it actually be pretty easy to make a app that fixes this?
    Like:

    New image captured event{
    Change name for all images with
    a matching name to the current
    date to whatever you want
    }

    You can just use this to get the amount of images you have on the phone and then constantly compare it to the number of images you had earlier.

    final String[] columns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID };
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
    MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,
    null, orderBy);
    int count = cursor.getCount();

    Comparing it:

    amount = oldamount

    // (code i wrote earlier)

    if(amount == oldamount){
    //rename File. Idk how. I dont
    know java
    }

    @HampusMa well from a developer view yes, this should be possible, since naming has to happen somehow ...
    but ... do i really take the effort to set that up and care about it ...? no way, maybe if i have nothing better to do😅😏

    @cursee Looks good. But its not automatic

    I've seen xposed extensions just foe this, so it's possible.
    Doesn't seem hard to do an app to do it automatically, when a media scan event fires. Or even just a single rename when a photo is shared.
    Come on, you have a cs degree, you should do it 😋
