Photo Mechanic ingest into DCIM/XXXMSDCF
« on: August 05, 2025, 07:19:24 AM »
Hi,

I'm not sure if something changed in a recent update (I'm on the subscription version) but when I ingest photos now it is putting them in DCIM/XXXMSDCF folders.  I know this is replicating the directory structure on the SSD card.  What I don't understand is on the Ingest Menu I am providing a specific path to the folder I want them in.  Why is it adding the DCIM/XXXMSDCF hierarchy?

This could be on me as user error.  Any insight is appreciated.

Mike

PS
Apologies if this has been brought up before.  I didn't see it when I did a search.

Hi, I think you need to set the 'Source Directory Structure' dropdown to 'ignore-copy all photos into same destination'

Ah, I didn't look there.  That's probably it.

Thanks Alex!
