Suppose, you have a bunch of photos, they are all scattered around your hard drive with different names, and you want to organize them in folders by year and month.
So, you want to create folders with year values and inside them the folders with the months, and place the appropriate photos into that folders.
Something like this:
Code: Select all
2021
January
February
March
...
December
2020
January
February
...
etc
Then add the "Copy" task from the "File" task group. Leave "New File Name" with the default "<Original Name (Without Extension)>" value. The most important parameter in this task is "Folder". Note the small "plus" button near this field. This button will help you to add special tags to the folder name(s). You can use EXIF-tag values, image, and file-related values as a part of the folder.
Here is the example of the "Folder" parameter value:
Code: Select all
<Source Folder>\Sorted\<[EXIF] Date/Time[!TEMPLATE!:yyyy]>\<[EXIF] Date/Time[!TEMPLATE!:mmmm]>
That's all!
Please note, it is better to use the "Copy" task (and not Move/Rename) for this task to make sure that you do not lose any image in case if something went wrong.
