Renaming Photos

I've renamed photos so that for example a photo that is named 12345.jpeg. is now named "John". However, since renaming it, it tells me that the file isn't found, and as a result, can't be opened. Is there an app or something that I can use in order to open the photos once they've been renamed?

Yes, you must keep the extent .jpg or .jpeg or whatever it was originally.

BUT, I still do not know how to change the name by overwriting the original name when the photo is still in the phone. How did you do it OR did you do it while the photo was still in your PC?

Thanks,

First, can you tell me how you renamed them? I don't see how to do that when the photos are in the Charge root directory.

Second. did you keep the extent .jpg on the photo you renamed JOHN?

I renamed them just by overwriting the whole thing with the person's name. I guess I should have kept the jpg extension? For instance, I should have renamed it John.jpg instead of just 'John'? Is that what I'm doing wrong?

I downloaded Astro file manager and renamed it there.
