Folder name?

[JAS Photo]

Is it possible to have the folder use 6 characters instead of 8 dropping the "20"?
Thanks

By "20" I'll guess that you mean the "20" in "2006"...

Which variable are you using?  If it is {datesort} then you can use {year2}{month0}{day0} instead.

Sorry Kirk - I know how to use variables to set the file name when renameing while ingesting but I have no idea how to set a folder name for ingesting it defauts to 20060504 say - but I would like to have just 060504.

{year2}{month0}{day0} should work (well...it works for me)

Where do I put it? I don't see an option/place for the variables.

Change the Copy Photos: popup menu to read "into folder with name"
Then in the Folder Name: text field enter your variables.  If you want to create a folder hierarchy, use the '/' character to create it:

{year4}/{month0}/{day0}

Of course you don't have to create a folder hierarchy if you don't want to.  Just leave out the slashes.
