Leica File naming with shooting day data

[FrankU]

Can I name my Leica Q3 files by the day they were shot somehow?  The Q3 now names them by a useless long number that relates - apparently - to the number of shots taken on the SD card. I do not care about that. A 'day of the year taken' name would order them in a much better way and I have to do that now with every new import to Lightroom C where I cannot decipher which days the importing images belong to.  Has anyone figured this out, I wonder again.  That would save so mch tedious work on my side.

Thanks

If you look closely the file names have more detail: 20240430-L1010751

20240430 = 2024 April 30 (US numbering for dates)

L1010751 = 751 shots taken with this Leica camera to date since the last firmware update.

Mine are all processed in LightRoom Classic

All mine are renamed automatically to DDMMYY-HHMM-SS by Photo Mechanic Plus when I initially ingest them from the SD card. Previously, before doing that in Photo Mechanic, I did the same in Capture One when importing new photos. I'm sure there's a lot of other photo software that can do the same.
