My recent model Android phone usually names photos with a date time, like
"20250126_115743", but there was one photo in a series that when I sent it
via email to my desktop computer, came in with the name:
"mrousavy-5722737825195822912.jpg". The photo displays fine, and even the
exif info looks good, so I'm able to rename it and keep things logical.

It turns out that the photo with the wacko name was "taken" by the plant
identification app, "Seek". In testing a bit, any time I ask Seek to take
a photo, it gets recorded with the "mrousavy*.jpg" type of filename. I'll
have to snoop a bit more to see if this behavior can be made more logical.
And they're stored in their own subdirectory, which is annoying. Everything that takes photos should let you choose their storage location.
Irrelevant but useful information:
There's an open source program called jhead which allows you to manipulate the name of a photo file based on what's stored in the exif info. Runs under linux and windows from a command line. This one renames all the files in the subdirectory that you're in to YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond.jpg format.
jhead -n%Y%m%d-%H%M%S *.jpg yields 20250130-104840.jpg
Other options are left as an exercise for the reader.
