Has anyone here ever *seen* the iOS DCIM file system organization?
*If not, you're in for a big surprise!*
Files all over the place, in almost randomly named folders (such as
_201901) with randomly named image file names (such as IMG1234.JPG).

No other operating system refuses to allow you to name your image files.
Just Apple.
Meanwhile, every other operating system (except Apple's) allows the user to
define how they want photo images to be named (using a sensible convention)

Some day Apple will care about the consumer.
But that day hasn't arrived yet.
