Description
Steps to reproduce
- Go to filename mode in settings
- Choice is to either use original file name or not
Expected behaviour
User should have the ability to select their own file name. Moreover, as most of the backends are Linux, having spaces between date, time, and trailing digits create problems
Actual behaviour
Let the user select the format or use the more conventional format date_time_single trailing digit
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
Increases the readability, clears any potential issues having spaces between date, time, and trailing digits

Research direction
Start in the iOS app's filename mode settings and trace how the selected mode reaches filename generation. Done means users can choose a filename format, including a conventional date_time_single-trailing-digit form, and filenames avoid spaces that cause backend issues.
