Using Hot Folders to Automate Resizing/Renaming

[MockOutrage]

Hello all,

I have a project that I believe XnConvert can be a valuable tool for. I'll try to explain this as clearly as I can, which may end up not being altogether clear at all, but here goes nothing.

I host a trivia night at a local brewery and part of this process is taking pictures throughout the evening and posting them to a blog the next day. The camera that I use has the capability to export all pictures to a specified folder on my computer with one click. What I would like to do is choose this folder and make it a Hot Folder in XnConvert so that the pictures are automatically processed as they come in. What I'm trying to figure out is how I might be able to create customized folders names based on the date that the picture is taken. For example:

Pictures are taken on May 6, 2015.
Camera sync application moves photos into specific location identified as a hot folder: C:\Pictures
What I'd like to have happen is for XnConvert to copy these photos into a subfolder: C:\Pictures\2015-05-06

There are some other changes that I want made to the photos, but I've figured those out on my own. I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to create a custom folder based on data from the pictures being processed.

Thanks!
