Image import - defining folder structures

James Hardy
Hi

I'm new to Capture One (v10) and am migrating from Aperture on the Mac. One of the features I loved about Aperture that I can't find in C1 is the ability to define a folder structure when importing photos (known as referenced images) in Aperture.

I have the following folder structure for all my photos

Photographs/
Images/
YYYY/
MM/
YYYY-MM-DD/
Image.NEF


So, I would have a photo located in 2016/03/2013-03-06/image.nef

In aperture I can define this structure on import and have all photos copied or moved into this folder structure and have aperture create the structure if it doesn't exist.

Does anyone know how or if I can do something similar in C1 10?

Thanks

James

    This is totally possible-
    In the import window, set the Destination to the folder "Images", then in the Subfolder field just below it set up the tokens as such:
    [Image Year YYYY]/[Image Month MM]/[Image Year YYYY] - [Image Month MM] - [Image Day DD] / [Image Name]

    The items in brackets [ ] are available tokens. This will create the folder structure you describe. I suggest setting this up once and saving it as a preset.

    Got it...thanks, seems obvious now and almost identical to aperture so not sure why I missed it.

    I've not successfully migrated about 65k photos from aperture (and Lightroom) all into C1....and all seems to be working well.

    Now I just wish MediaPro would work seamlessly with C1 using a common catalog (or auto sync).

    THanks
