Why does DJI MIMO rename files ?

Hi, when I transfer files from the camera to the phone, they get renamed and I don't understand what's the point ?

Original filenames:
- Picture 1 = DJI_20240713175054_0026_D
- Picture 2 = DJI_20240713175055_0027_D

Mimo filename:
- Picture 1 = dji_mimo_20240713_175054_0_1720942929674_photo
- Picture 2 = dji_mimo_20240713_175054_0_1720942929853_photo

Having a different filename is annoying when you transfer some files to your phone on the field, take more pics/videos, and transfer them to you computer directly from the camera.
Then you have duplicates but you need to check each files to identify them.

A few observations:

- The prefix is changed from DJI to dji_mimo, not sure what it brings ?
- An underscore is added between date & time (which I actually wish was in the original filename too, make is much more readable and would be similar to what Samsung does)
- For some reason the hour was changed for picture 2 from 170555 to 170554 ?
- The numeric suffix is replaced with a longer numeric value, which I guess is some kind of timestamp too. I don't have a preference but find it weird to change it.
- a suffix is added for photo/video which doesn't seem relevant to me either

IMO, DJI should simplify all this and keep the same filename across the camera/mimo app (or maybe add just a _mimo suffix if there is a point I'm missing, so that duplicates are stored next to each other and IDed)

PS: adding the underscore between date & time in the original filename on camera would be nice, I'll suggest that in another thread.
