Photos generates millions very long name for the images. These names are about 60 characters long, looking something like 97D67AA1-ECED-41B8-A09A-D66BAD890930_1_105_c.jpeg. I understand that it is used by Apple Photos internally. It should not be shown to the user at all. Is there a way to stop Photos generate it or shown to the user at all?
Apple does not support its product very well. Right now Apple Photos is a pice of junk to me.

You should not be able to see the internal names, unless you are opening the Photos Library package and are looking inside the package.
When you are looking at the info of a photo in Photos or are exporting a photo from Photos, the original image filename of the photo saved in Photos will be restored.
If you are seeing something like 97D67AA1-ECED-41B8-A09A-D66BAD890930_1_105_c.jpeg in the info for a photo inside the Photos.app, your photos library may have become damaged by some third-party app or being stored on some incompatible volume. Then you are seeing scavanged files that have been recovered when the library needed to be repaired and Photos collected lost+found items that have no longer been connected to the thumbnails in the library.
You're welcome 😊
Thanks very much for your information, it does help me understand more how Photos works.
My best regards,
How can I control how photos are named?
