And what exactly is the "decent name" you get from Apple? On my Macs and my
iCloud-connected Windows PCs, I get names like "IMG_4737.jpg".  Why is
"IMG_4737.jpg" a better name than "5C297223-793B-4508-A22F-BC319105026B.jpg"?
  Both are totally arbitrary names.  Both are totally meaningless.

 It just hit me why Apple uses these file names for photos. Being a programmer
(for 40 years) it is obvious that those are all Hex digits. 8 digits-4
digits-4 digits-4 digits-12 digits. Letters between A and F. That they are
broken up by dashes probably has some context.
