Naming files - docs not clear to somebody as thick as me :-)

I’d use
~/Pictures/topicname/YYYY/YYMMDD/YYMMDD-HHMMSS-filename

Including date and time with the camera-generated filename makes the names unique for practical purposes. (I have never had a filename clash in well over a decade of storing image files.)

Unique filenames are extremely useful for several reasons. Camera generated filenames are not. They have no meaning at all. There is no point to keeping them. It’s better to use sequence numbers to generate unique filenames.

Thanks, Damon. “Stored number” is exactly what I want from your description as well as my own.

Keep in mind this bug report: Bug #1842060 “Wrong value saved for stored number” : Bugs : Rapid Photo Downloader
