Rename Photos By Date They Were Shot For Easy Sorting

One more thing is, you can't save the photo with the same name in the one folder. Most of the cameras, if you delete one photo, save a new photo with the same name and when you try to back up that photo from the camera to your backup folder shows an error of the same name and you have to rename that image.
