Before replacing my old Motorola RAZR with an iPhone I needed to backup up all of my photos. Unfortunately Motorola’s naming convention for images is terrible: DD_MM_YY-hhmm.jpg, if you try sorting that you get all the photos taken on the first of any month grouped together, followed by all those taken the first of the second month, etc. That’s terrible.
So I wrote a little perl script that renames all RAZR pictures to YYMMDDhhmm.jpg so that they can be easily sorted in chronological order by any file browser. You’d think a big international company like Motorola would be able to respect the ISO 8601 standard by now.
