Hi,
In previous Version (before 2.8.0),save images had the Facebook style filename, now they are saved with a filename like IMG_DATE-TIME.JPG which looks like IMG_18.07.2016-18:23:24.jpg
With a filename like this it is not possible to move the file to sdcard or to PC. Please retain old style filenames.

I don't understand why it's not possible to move the file. A file name is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with file operations...

I assume you are using a strange file manager but it's still extremely weird.

Those names seemed to be nice because they're more informative then just a random string of characters. You know exactly when the file was saved without even opening it.

I might know why, because Windows doesn't allow a file named with symbols
like ":"

Ok. It seems to be an explanation. Ok, so I will change a separator.

by the way, it's not (only) windows that does not allow ":", also Android lets move files with that characters to external SD card (mine is FAT-something, encypted by Android) - that does not depend on any kind of filemanager.
Having had the original facebook-filenames seemd better because I could compare files (on different machines, dirs, etc) quick and easy by the filename, now I have to compare them by other means.
Why did you change filename formatting anyway?

I completely don't remember changing anything. I have to go through Git
commits and figure it out :) I got an idea to let user decide what filename
will be used. I will probably introduce it some day.
