brand new to C1 - Import into a new folder
Hi all, I'm on a bit of a mission here, I have about 2 hours to work out how to use C1 after years and years of LR after just being notified I'm going to be tested on it today for a prospective client 🤓
Yay.
Sooo... The lightroom process originally used was thus - New Catalogue was created annually, with the destination folder for all imported images being an external hard drive dedicated to that year. Inside that catalogue, first day of each month a new folder was added to the hard drive named e.g. 'March 2016'. Any new job was then imported into a sub-folder named by the job - e.g. 'Client x'.
I've managed to wrap my head around a fair bit of the structure inside C1 but struggling a bit with the actual physical location organisation of the folders on the hard drives - how, at import, do I say "I want these imported into a new folder named 'Client x'". I'm on Win 10

Use a session. So in C1, create a new session. You get to call it whatever you like and store it wherever you like on your system. So you might call the session March 2016 Client X and choose to put it in your Pictures folder, or whatever. C1 creates a folder in there called March 2016 Client X and within that subfolders called Capture, Selects, Output and Trash. The import your images and they automatically go in the Capture folder.

In the Import images dialog screen, you can set a file path with fields like : g:\Picture\[Current Year]\[Current Month]. 0
