Auto folder creation by date on import

Hi, I am brand new to Magix Photo Manager Deluxe. I'm starting to attempt my first photo imports from USB stick.

I'm able to select the images I want to import, but all the photos end up in ONE folder. I'd like each set of photos to have their own folders by date automatically created at import time. Is this supported in this program?

Thank you kindly

Hi

Assuming you mean by date images were taken, this is not possible - the only advanced option is to create a subfolder named as the date of import.

From a management point of view it does not matter where the images are located on the hard drive so long as those folders have been catalogued by the program.

The Calendar view will show the images according to year, month, date - below is an example - I have >50 folders catalogued.

Interesting. I'm so used to having each day of the photo shoot in it's own folder... I'll look at calendar view as an alternative. Thank You.
