I'm having an issue with my Air 2s fly app for Android. When I cut and paste my video and photos from my drone SD card to my PC, It resets everytime to DJI_0001.mp4.  This is horrible programming. Why can't DJI just label the file names with the current date and time? E.g. for 8am on June 21st, 2021 the filename should be: 06212021_0800.mp4 or something like that? The date and time is stored on the file but why can't it be also be  placed within file name?

Hi! You might be better off posting your question in the 'products' section of this forum.  That is way more active.    -   https://forum.dji.com/forum-129-1.html

The second the GPS gets a fix, the GPS provides precise file information that could easily be associated with a drone designator to save files in EXACT order in such a way that files would NEVER get mixed up.  This would ensue that even if a single SD card was used for a week, month, or even a year or two ... no 2 files could be stored out of order ... this would make so much sense that I cannot begin to understand why Photo files are not always saved this way, except for those few times one chooses not to employ(turn on), GPS.  I am now looking at Mavic.  The drone looks very useful, but I do not need 2,000 files to end up in a jumbled mess ... especially, if I am using a number of project and sometimes returning to a site once or twice a month ... this shortcoming reminds me of the fact that programmers in 8 bit, NEVER CONCERNED themselves with corrective action, when 16 bit computer became normal ... anyone remember being at the edge of a cliff Y2000?  Shortsighted programmers are the cause of filing problems ... I've spent too many late nights changing files that have become a shuffled mess ...
