but if it were important not to use long filenames, they could get
around this by using directories that contain the date info (only),
and files for that date inside each dir.  E.g.,

20031201 <dir>
  dscn0101.jpg
  dscn0102.jpg
20031208 <dir>
  dscn0103.jpg
  dscn0104.jpg

MOTD:  Always include version info.
