My guess is since they are images the thumbnail is more important as an identifier than the name would be.

Then why change it? Most apps give a default name, so you literally just need to click "save" or press "Enter."

No idea, best I got is that maybe the default name is always the same from whatever source they are using, so they would get 'replace it?' dialog anyway.

Really? Pretty much everything I've used adds a (1) or something to always give a unique name.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I agree, usually it does

Some websites use the same default filename for multiple files something generic like image.jpg
