Photo file names Deleted by iPad

Asked this 3 months ago, but got no response. Can't understand what iPad does to photo file names. 1. Can't see photo file name in albums/events. 2. when iPad emails photo, the file that is received is called only La Foto (the photo, my wife uses spanish). If I send her a photo with a name I assigned (date, camera-assigned number, file size), and she saves it to an album and sends it back, the file name I sent her is gone, and photo is simply La Foto. How can you organize or keep track of photos, w/o info such as name, date, camera number, etc.? And why does iPad remove specifically created names? Nothing in Manual or Settings on this.

We've an iPad, and also a MB Air and iMac.

The iPad is used to view photos. Your computer is where the photos are organized and named. As far as I know the iPad does not keep the names of photos.

Gee. I finally found out that how stupid I was.

I only focused on "Photo" and "Album" in the app.

I havn't tested the app about "PhotoStream" and "Shared PhotoStream."

Actually, I didn't even turn on the iCloud facility until 20 minutes ago.

Now I know what the problem is, thanks for your information again.

I wanted to create folders within folders (like a tree) and include photos in different folders to my liking. Didn't succeed in doing this in photos app and in few other downloaded photo managers.

Then finally I found a way; I used Adobe reader, where you can create any amount of folders, folders within folders etc... And put any photo inside any folder. Most importantly the original photo names are displayed, so photos can be sorted by name.

Disadvantage is that, unlike in photos app, I can't move from photo to photo by swiping, need to open each photo separately from the list. Any suggestions to overcome this problem is appreciated.

Thanks
