Hi All,

Two questions about File -> Import and sort menu command.

- Does it create a copy while importing into a new folder/catalog structure or moves the files from the source?
- If using a Subfolder with [Y/m] mask for Import and sort, what date it uses? Is it original EXIF date of a photo creation or the last modification file date?

Thank you!

You have a 'move files' setting

EXIF date modified
