Un-wanted sub folders


how stop lr5 adding dated sub folder ever time import photos.   started  , can't find way turn off.   ever date photo taken lr makes folder date when importing.

help

in import screen, right side, panel "destination".

 

this panel starts @ top, option type new folder created, contain imported batch. un-check put them straight inside selected location.

 

below this, selector menu:

  • "by date" - based on shooting date or if unavailable, file date - option below sets kind of folder structure gets used
  • "by original folders" replicate source location organised, e.g. keeping in-camera folders
  • "into 1 folder" transfers whole batch undifferentiated.

 

if have manually determined images go, , there no meaningful arrangement of folders in place copying them from, want preserve - choose "into 1 folder" option.

 

i prefer "by date" option way remove need plan or supervise images go. of imports use exact same "parent" destination, , lr takes 100% automatic care of things there on. date, filed together. if 1 wishes to, 1 can later rename folder (from inside lr) add meaningful description, aid searching - though same effect afaict achieved group-keywording images same info, in "apply during import" panel of import.

 

regards, rp
