Rapid Photo Downloader

Additional folder name format YYYY_MM_DD

Asked by Roman Shumikhin

Hi Damon,

Thank you very much for your application, I am using it every day to transfer images from my camera!
Is it possible to add YYYY_MM_DD to the list of the supported folder names?
I have two digital cameras: Cannon and Olympus and they both use that format for folder names, I would like to keep it consistent since all my folder names are already in that format.
As a temporary measure I modified generatenameconfig.py and added that format there manually, but these changes will probably be lost next time you release an update for your wonderful application ;)

Thank you very much in advance,
Roman

Hi Roman,

It's easy to construct that format yourself. Here's how:

In the subfolder program preferences, select YYYY. Then click the plus sign, select text, and put _ for the text value. Click the plus sign again, enter MM, and so forth.

For the next version I think I will need to come up with an alternative way of configuring this, as you are not the first user to be unaware of this feature.

Best,
Damon
