Description

Desired behaviour Allow (part) of the original filename to be used in the filename mask. E.g. Allow "##" for the number suffix of the original file.

With YYYYMMDD-HHmmss-##
IMG_1234.HEIC would become 20190323-182823-1234.HEIC

Actual behaviour

Currently only date/time is supported in the mask.

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS auto-upload filename-mask handling and the code that currently supports date and time tokens. Trace how the original filename and extension are available during upload, then verify that a mask such as YYYYMMDD-HHmmss-## produces the requested suffix while preserving the HEIC extension.
