P: Option to display dates in Import Photos and Videos dialogue

[ToastyKen]

Please consider adding an option to display dates next to photos in the Import Photos and Videos dialogue, either under the filename or in a list view.

Use case: I want to see at a glance which photos are from today or from the last few days, so I can import just those, and ignore older photos.

Known workarounds that aren't ideal:

• A. Mouse-over photos to find where the latest batch starts.
• I have to keep mousing over images to hunt, and that's much slower than being able to read dates at a glance.
• B. Wait for all thumbnails to load, then skim by thumbnail
• I mostly do this today, but it can be slow, especially for my Fuji RAW photos
• C. Just import everything and let Don't Import Suspected Duplicates sort it out
• I'm somewhat aggressive with culling/deleting photos, so some old photos still on my memory card may be treated as new again if I've deleted them from Lightroom

I can use A and B as workarounds (C isn't workable), but it would be really nice to add skimmable dates I can view at a glance.

It would be nice to add a view to the import interface to group photos by date. An even better way would be to group photos by event (ie.: a wedding with photos taken from the afternoon until the night, even if the night goes on till 3am).

This would make the management of a big memory card containing multiple events much easier

I assume you know about sorting the Import window by Capture Time?  I agree that grouping, with visible headers identifying the day or time period, would usually be better.
