Batch Rename Into Folders

Is there a way to batch rename files into a new folder structure?
I have a folder of 1000+ imported images:

/Photos/*.CR2

I would like to Batch Rename the files so that they are more organized:

/Photos/2016/10/*.CR2

Selecting some images and choosing Batch Rename, I have the following set of text and tokens:

[Image Year (yyyy)]/[Image Month(MM)/[Image Name]

*Note the "/" in between the tokens. After applying this rename command the images are renamed, but NO folders are created. In fact the file name that results includes the slashes into the name! In other words, C1P9 is not converting the slashes into folders.

I have tried:
/ = Same Result
\ = Same Result
: = Is an illegal file name character on Mac (because it represents folder structure)

I'm running: macOS Sierra 10.12, C1P 9.3

Help?

  If you want to re-distribute files by folder (with an option of naming too), then use Export>Originals (works for session too)
  Here you can do both name and folder set up.
  
  Note this function copies the RAWs - the originals remain in place.

  Thanks Jim_DK I'll try that as an alternative approach.

  It's a bit more work, but can't you move them in the "Folders" section of the library tool? In the browser, show all images in a list view, show the filter tool with the dates date, then filter per moth, select all images and move them into the appropriate folder.
  
  (you can create the folder structure upfront with Terminal: open terminal, cd to the location of your files, then use mkdir to create the nested structure: mkdir -p 2016/{1..12} That will create a subfolder for every month in the folder 2016. You can plan ahead an type: mkdir -p {2016..2020}/{1..12} 😊 If you don't want to try this where your images live (smart!), then do this in the desktop folder and use the Finder to move the resulting folder hierarchy to your image folder (this only works if your image folder doesn't have the 2016 folder, otherwise the Finder will ask you to replace it. Don't!).
  
  Like so:
  [in Terminal]
  cd ~/Desktop
  mkdir -p 2016/{1..12}
  
  [in Finder]
  copy the folder 2016 on your desktop to your image folder.
  
  Then, getting C1 to recognise the new empty folders is another thing 😊
  
  HTH
  Peter.

  I haven't tested your specific scenario, but my gut tells me you should have a look at A Better Finder Rename , and The Big Mean Folder Machine .
  
  I have a feeling the combo will get you where you need to be. (also they're just handy apps that aren't that expensive in the first place).
