I see what you're saying, but it's not even not just filling gaps - If, for example, I take 5 photo's, and the Z3 calls them DCM001, 002, 003, 004 & 005, and I move them to A N Other folder suing File Commander, when I take the next 5, they are also then called DCM001, 002, 003, 004 & 005, as the first five are then filed in another folder. So you can imagine what a pain this is if I take 100 pictures one day on a day out somewhere, and then another 100 the next which I wish to then put into the same folder.
This whole issue seems to stem from the fact that the Sony Z3 is the first smartphone I've used that only allows the creation & naming of folders within a the actual files using a file manager, as opposed to the photo/video/gallery app. itself. I never had this issue on the LG G3 or indeed the Blackberry Z30 before that,
Hopefully there's a way around this? Starting to think not!
