Organizing Photos in MC 20
« on: December 27, 2014, 09:57:35 am »

I have just now started using MC and I wanted to see if is possible to create new albums and move all photos of a specific year to that album. Right now when I import it creates a album for every day of the month photos were taken. My goal is have just one per year with sub folders under it. I was not sure if this was an option or if the organization in MC is hard coded or should I have total control over how photos are organized.

Make the view start with Year as the first category.

Thank you that helps. Do you know if there is any way to create sub folders like 2014/Christmas?

Well what is Christmas?  Is it a Keyword tag?  If so, add that as a level to the view.

Is it a folder?  If so, you can add that as a level to the view as well with this expression:
FileFolder([Filename, 0], 0)

Vary the number at the end to change the folder.
