Get Photos - create directories by Year-Month

Report · Jan 24, 2021

I organize my photos in a directory structure by year month (yyyy-mm). How can I get PSE to use this structure when importing photos? I dont want to create directories by shot date (just the year/month)

For example:

My directory structure is:

\pictures\2021\01

\pictures\2021\02

\pictures\2021\03 etc

I have been using Downloader Pro to get my photos in this format but it stopped working recently.

Breeze Downloader Pro | Breeze Systems

I really wish PSE could add an option to do this.

I think you should add a feature request in the feedback forum:

Indeed, we need more flexibility to create date based folder structures.

My choice has been to use the default YYYY MM DD choice and to edit my preferences every year for the location of the files to be imported. A manual operation, but only once a year.
