Copy Card to Folder suggestion

[tomczak]

I'm not sure how difficult it is to implement, but one idea that I would find useful would be to have an option to automatically create subfolders in the Target Folder based on EXIF timestamp of the image being copied (e.g. Year, Year/Month, Year/Month/Day, Month, Month/Day, Day).

I don't really want to start down the slippery slope of building a DAM one feature at a time. I also thought of possibly creating separate folders for JPEG and RAW for example. Also, extracting just the EXIF data without reading the entire image file is not supported by the image file library I am using. I'm not sure that would be necessary anyway since the file date and time should be accurate.

Makes sense, thanks.

By basing it on the file date instead of the exif data, it turned out to not be too hard. Implemented for next release.

Thanks! It may be asking for too much, given that I agree with no need for DAM. I just want to point out two issues, but maybe that's unique to the way I'm doing it.

- the date format: dd-Mon-yyyy doesn't sort files chronologically. What I normally use is ISO format yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2020-04-17) which sorts them in File explorer etc.

- this is not that important, as it's just my way of doing things, but I normally archive files by organising them by year and month subfolders(i.e. yyyy/mm subfolders) or by year month a day subfolders (i.e. yyyy/mm/dd).
