XnView Software

Whilst using XnViewMP
How to move photos to folders named after the exif shooting date, also the ones in arw (Sony RAW) format?

I might look for 3rd party tools, but first I would like to check here.

Thanks

i don't understand your problem

Imported photos (from camera), both RAW and JPG
All in 1 folder (e.g. Photos)
Various dates

Now they should move to subfolders based on Exifdate, e.g.
\Photos\2014-12-01
\Photos\2014-12-04
\Photos\2014-12-06

etc.

you have "import and sort", but make a backup before to use it

Hi,
this is almost exactly what I am looking for. However it is not configurable to "yyyy-mm"

I have tried "batch rename" with filename = "{EXIF:Date Taken [Y-m]}\{Filename}", but this will not create subfolders

I have tried "batch convert" with filename = "{EXIF:Date Taken [Y-m]}\{Filename}". This will create subfolders but it will not just copy the files unchanged

Is there any way to move the files (unchanged) to a subfolder named /yyyy-mm ?

Thanks

You may wish to try out PhotoMove 2
Regretfully there is no portable version.

Think this should be in XnViewMP though.

(it is impossible to have screenshots displayed as thumbnails, to display full size once user clicks on it )

OR alternatively, download Advanced Renamer (freeware, portable) and proceed like the below.
- drag and drop source folder into Advanced Renamer
- select [Copy] or [Move]
- select destination folder and -for instance- <Img Year>-<Img Month>-<Img Day> (results in \2015-01-25)
- start

I'm searching for this feature but I can't find it. Was it added?

XnView MP offers an "Import and Sort" tool (I didn't know of that one until now). This tool allows for importing (=copying) images from one directory on the local or external drive to another directories. When specifying the target directory you can use placeholders and create a subdirectory structure depending on timestamp of file for example. But from what I can see and was written above you cannot use EXIF:date for creating specific subfolders.

Use menu "Tools > Import and Sort" to open the "Import and sort" dialog.

Sorry, I still can't find it. I select multiple files, right click on them and select "Batch rename..." - but there is no list for subfolder.

you are not in 'Import & Sort' tool

In XnView browser use menu "Tools > Import and Sort" to open the "Import and sort" dialog.

In German: Im XnView-Betrachter den Menüpunkt "Werkzeuge > Importieren und Sortieren.." wählen um den "Importieren und Sortieren"-Dialog zu öffnen.
