Photos in wrong folder

Hello, four or five days ago when I exported a photo "export with previous" the jpeg appeared in July 15 rather than the date taken, although the RAW files appeared in the folder with the correct date. For the last couple of days my RAW files apparently became tired of July 15 and elected to locate themselves in a folder dated 1999, and within that folder my RAW files have set themselves up in a 2018 folder with the correct date, but my JPEG exports continue to prefer living in July 15. If you can follow this description, I applaud you, and if anyone can assist me in better governing these files, I'll certainly give a standing ovation. Any ideas?

Fred

    You can set the folder where Exports go, so you won't have this problem. How to export Lightroom Classic CC files to disk or CD 

    "Export with Previous" only works if you want the photos in the same folder as the previous export.

    Hi Fred,

    Export with Previous applies all of the settings last used in Export, including hard drive location. If you want your JPEGs stored in the same folder as the raw files, then next time you export, change the "Export to:" dropdown choice to "Same Folder as Original." After this you'll be able to continue to use Export with Previous (if you're OK with all other settings you used before.)
