Couldn't find anything anywhere on this and can't find the proper tags on import to do this for pictures...

For me, this value seems to correspond simply to [Date] in my

[imeric]

A picture is worth a 1000 words...
What I want is the folder being created to take the date the picture was taken and NOT the date it was imported was acquired by MC.

There has to be a way to do this what am I missing?

In this case I would want 2016-05-11 and not 2016-05-12

Weird

When I use [date] it indeed gives me the date taken, and NOT date imported

Wonder what is different?

I think the official line is that MC doesn't know the EXIF date taken until it has imported the file, at which point, it reads the tag and populates the date field.

I don't use the acquire tool so much because of this. I manaully copy the images from SD to a watched folder, check, prune, tag, then run the rename move and copy tool over them, by which point, the [date] field is correctly populated.

I could live with using RMC right after to rename the folder but I couldn't figure this out either and get it to use the YYYY-MM-DD format...

Thanks Marko, that makes sense.  I don't use the acquire tool either, I do it your way

imeric, to get the date structure you want, just use formatdate() in the RMC tool.  You can make the date look like anything you want

formatdate([date],yyyy-MM-dd)

formatdate() on the wiki for other output options.
