Hi,
There seem to be an issue in the title detection based on filename. Uploading images with the following filename creates an image with the following titles :

DSF2001.jpg : Unknown / 2022
Photo_mer.jpg : Unknown / 2022
Photo_de_la_mer.jpg : Unknown / 2022
Mer_photo.jpg : Mer Photo / 2022
Mer_2001.jpg : Unknown / 2022
Mer_photo_2001.jpg : Mer Photo / 2022

There seems to be a rule, but quite hard to decipher. For information, the images have many exif fields with various descriptive information, but those are not used for the title apparently.

IMO, there are 2 issues:

As a user I want to be able to deterministically set the title of uploaded pictures with the filename or via an exif field
As a user I want to know the title rules by reading the documentation. I haven't found this in the existing documentation

I am using the demo server (Build 220919-cc8bab446) but I have the same issue on my instance (Build 220629-5d7448d2).
