Hmmm … I’m not sure that is worth your time. I would just keep the existing photos organized as they are, and employ the new folder structure to all future imports.
]]>Yeah! That’s gonna be a pain since I’ll have to know the exact month and date for each photo. Currently, all photos from a month are categorized into e.g. 2017 > September
]]>Hi Pratik, It sounds like you just want to rename the folder currently called “Month” to “Year-month-Day” is that right? If so, just right-click the folder and choose Rename from the contextual menu, then enter the desired name. Repeat for any other folders (tedious, yes, but the only way to keep the catalog and renamed folders connected in LrC).
]]>The right side of the Import window when using Copy/Copy as DNG (or Move).
]]>Could be useful, but I don’t see Adobe ever implementing it. I’d recommend standardizing on a single location/entry point knowing, as you do, that you can move photos and folders using LrC later. Just get the photos in, and then use LrC to manage them and don’t waste time on the import screen.
]]>That’s incorrect. If you use the Copy function during import into Lightroom Classic then the copies are what are being monitored/referred to/managed by Lightroom Classic, not the originals. You cannot delete the originals from within LrC because they are not in LrC. Deleting from within LrC would only delete the photos you just imported, which would be counter-productive.
