Can't digiKam support the creation of the directory using the date of photo

[Sino]

Hi, All

First I would like to thanks the great work of digiKam team.  I can
use digiKam to work with my Canon 80 digiCamera. But I am a fresher to
the digiKam

As you know, every digicamera has its own tools for Windows to
download the photos from camera. for example, my Canon 80's software
can get the those latest photos to my PC and can create the directory
automatically to store the photo. The rule it create directory is the
date of every photo.

What I want to know whether digiKam also has this feature. I noticed
that digiKam give  us the freedom to point to a specific location as
my album. but the downloaded photos are put into the same directory
without creating the directory according to the date of creation of
the photo.

Appreciation for your help.

Sure digiKam can do this, just activate "Auto-create folders" in the camera
import dialog.

AFAIK, if you create a new directory when you see the destination
directory window, the new directory will be automatically named with the
actual date.

Yes but this is not what he wants, he likes to have subfolders for every date
in the picture range. So the "auto-create option" should be the way to go.

Hi, Andi

I have tried it with my Canon 80is, but I can't see any choice of
"Auto-create folders" in the camera import dialog, then I tried with
F-Spot. In fact I think digiKan support this feature like F-Spot to
create folder according to their creation date. Such configuration
should be in the menu/settings. ( I don't know whether such feature
should be dependent on the Camera).

Thanks

Hi, Andi

Thanks very much for your patient help. I got it :)

I don't see the menu on the side of main window. I only find them on
the top menu. Stupid enough.

Thanks again
