I no longer have Zoom Browser installed and can't seem to find it to download, but I'm I bit puzzled here. Are you saying all of your image files are unnamed? This doesn't seem to make sense, at least from my experience with Windows, as every file within a given directory must have  a unique name. Or are the files named but no longer named as they originally were? Are you seeing this in your file manager or only in ZB?

If the file names have been corrupted, you might be able to restore them if the original information is still in the EXIF data. I would try Irfan View or similar to perform a batch rename using the original file name from the camera or (my preference) a date code derived from EXIF.

If the file names are missing in ZB but still there in your file manager, look for an option to display file names in the ZB settings.
