How to Name Files for SEO?

How do I get my pictures to retain the same file name to be indexed by the search engines, if this Website X5 program renames them all randomly "p032_1_00" that I intentionally named "stringy-tulips-frame-thmb"?
It is a wonder now a year later, that no one knows of my website and none of my pictures are indexed by Google Image Search like when I had my site run manually before. Thank you for any insight.
X5 Evolution 8 version: 8.0.16
OS: Win7
PHP Version 5.2.6

I'm not sure I understand. If people type in their image search "tulips", how will my tulip art show up if it's named "p032_1_00" by this Website X5 program as a random number?
Have a look at the attached png file. :)
Have a good day.

Wow, thank you for all this help. I don't see it in my version 8 though. How can I have my images keep the same file name to be indexed by search engines, in my version 8 of Website X5?
I'm sorry I can't help you with version 8. I'm not sure it can be done with version 8. Maybe someone else will jump in and offer a soloution.
Have a good day.

You must upgrade to version 9 to have this option. In version 8 is not possible because it's rename all original images and do not support PNG type (only GIF and JPG)

Oh dear. Will I have to re-do all my pages, or will everything just click over to the new format? Like pictures, video, words & page layout still show the way I had it? And HTML PayPal buttons & other settings too?
Also, can whole pages be copied including links that do not need to be re-linked? 'Cause now with version 8 any copied link won't work unless I re-set each darn one. (Major eye-strain & extra work) That would be a nightmare for a whole page of just links.
Thank you.
Ruth there is a proceedure to follow before converting a V8 project to V9....
You have to "Batch Process" your V8 project (Make a Backup copy) onto C Drive then from C Drive IMPORT it into V9 (It should convert over successfully)
If you are an artist trying to get your work noticed in Google.... See my first post Ruth!!
I also do remotes on how to use X5 V9!! (See link below)
