Separate dated folders in ingest
« on: March 11, 2011, 09:00:55 AM »
Is it possible to separate pictures in dated folders using capture date when ingesting them by PM? How could it be done?
TIA

I am using it via the variables. See Screenshot.

After 5 years of absence I restarted the photography.

Thanks, Sven.
I will do the same.
Perhaps it could be automated (a separate option)...it is an ordinary feature when ingesting with Canon software.

Luiz,

When we offered a 'lite' version of PM, it had simple options like dated folders.  The full PM (all we offer now) allows you to do anything you want via the use of {variables} and Code Replacements.  It is unlikely that we would offer the simple options again since learning to use {variables} is a good thing to master for all users.  Even Sven's example of creating a yearly folder and then inside the yearly folder a YYYY_MM_DD folder couldn't be done with the simple dated folders option.  With {variables} it's possible.

Kirk,
Thanks for your reply. It is really better and logic that PM do more, so it can also do less...
