Maintain original photo names when uploading to Camera Uploads

Can you please maintain the original File Name when Photos are uploaded to Camera Uploads?

 

Renaming all files with just their time stamp is a disaster for photo management.

 

Original filenames will (often) have a speific set of characters identifying them, which have been selected by the photographer for a reason and they also (often) have a serial number which for (many) photographers is also essential to keep.

 

If you think time stamping is essential, why not adding it at the end of the original photo filename?

 

This means that a file named (example) DSC3650.jpg could well become DSC3650_2021-12-31 13.43.06.jpg

    Even better, would have been an option in some settings, allowing the user to assign the filename they wish, including the option to integrate the original file name to the new file name string.
