Backup folders names by the recoding date

Hello Together,

I am new at this forum and a new Capture One user. At the moment I am missing a function in the import module. Myself I organize my backups in folders named the recording date of the photos. Capture One always creates a folder for the import time stamp. Is it possible to change this setting for my long life backups? I haven't found a solution in the forum for this topic.

Thanks,

Alexander

  Not possible, a sorely missing function, if I may say.

  Thank you for the answer. I miss this feature, too. Actual I use a script to move the files from the Capture Backup directory to my backup structure:
  
  #!/bin/bash
#
#bash script to move files into subdirectories by create date
#
#known bugs:
#if filename exist in destination directory it will be overwritten!
#
source_path="/Volumes/SONY/Import/" #Path to your source files
destination_path="/Volumes/SONY/" #Path to your destination directories

#replace blanks in filenames with _
find $source_path -name "* *" | while read a ; do mv "${a}" "${a//' '/_}" ; done

#find all files in source path and start a loop
for i in $( find $source_path -type f -iname \*.*);
do

#get creation date of file YYYY-MM-DD, set destination directory, set filename
create_date=`stat -l -t "%F %T %z" $i | grep -E -o [[:digit:]]{4}-[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{2} | head -n 1`
destination_directory="$destination_path/$create_date"
filename=`basename $i`

#check destination directory
if [ ! -d $destination_directory ];
then
mkdir -p $destination_directory
else
fi

mv $i $destination_directory
echo "moving: $i -> $destination_directory";
done
exit 0
