library structure

[bregtje5C34]

Hi, I hope that someone can help me out.

For some time imported pictures (fi 2019) are automaticaly arranged as a submap under 2003. How do I change this. 

Thanks.

What version of Lightroom and what kind of photos are these? Lightroom reads the capture date of digital photos and creation date of scanned photos to decide where to store these, so somehow it thinks these photos were taken in 2003.

Hi Johan. Thanks for your reaction. I have Lightroom 4. Oldie. No the foto's are taken in 2020 and when i import them they get ranged under 2003.

You may have used a 'Nested' Import Date structure, and the 2003 Folder was highlighted in the Destination panel when you Imported. This will place 2020 as a subfolder within 2003.

To change it:  For any Date Structure preset that contains a /  you must highlight the topmost parent folder (eg. Pictures)
