Description

I usually upload pictures via the photos app by selecting them and choosing nextcloud. This uses the original filename

I only use the app when there are too many to upload that way. If you leave the rename field blank, it prepopulates with the date/time as a prefix, so I have to go in and add a dummy character and then use a renamer utility to go in and bulk remove that character from all filenames if I want all of my files to have the same convention.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the iOS app handles filenames and the rename field during photo uploads. The change is complete when leaving the rename field blank preserves the original filename without adding a date/time prefix, while the existing upload flow still works.
