Hi, I'm not very fond of the new filenaming technique DJI implemented.

It's rather hard to see which file is which by using this verylong_filename_with_custom_suffixes.mp4.

Is it somehow possible to revert back to good old DJI_0001.MP4 format?

Thank you

No, but if you are on the Mac it's very simple to use Automator to create an app that renames the files for you.

  • Open Automator
  • Select the actions from the left as shown
  • Setup the parameters on the right as shown
  • Save it as an Application
  • Now you can just drag and drop the files onto the icon and they will be renamed

Yeah so much easier on Windows.

I also do miss those shorter names they had on OA1, drones etc.

It is not a war on Win vs Mac. You can do the same thing on the Mac, select a series of files, right click and rename. And it will append numbers after it. But with Automator you create an app icon and you don’t have to keep entering a name all the time. Just drag and drop and done.

PS: I like the long name version. This way I can accidentally (or purposely) drop a bunch of files in the same folder and the names won’t collide.

If you break their file name down they can  make it shorter and understandable for all
DJI_20230922_0001.MP4


All else is  Irrillivant maybe the Relivant team has the answer

Please give the user to option to have shorter file names so that when transferring to iPhone via a card reader the phone can recognise the photos and videos in the Photos app. At the moment one needs to use "Files" app to transfer photos and videos on iPhones. We do this 15 times every day and it is a real hassle

DJI can create this as when we open the camera






DJI can simply  do it, like what Sony did, but they want to be D J I , and  its irrelevant

instead we see a Mess and its awesome for some and others must live with it, they given us  renaming of a folder  that is all.    they Listen and only listen
