I have been using f-spot for a few years to manage my photo archive, which is about 50K images at the moment. With the development of f-spot slowing down in the recent years and me switching to KDE, I'm looking at using DigiKam, which seems to be very nice and packed with features beyond my wildest hopes :)



One thing I'm missing though is the way f-spot was importing the images: it was creating subdirectories based on the image's shooting date:



$HOME/Photos/2011/11/12/IMG_1234.jpg
$HOME/Photos/2011/11/13/IMG_1235.jpg
$HOME/Photos/2011/11/13/IMG_1236.jpg


I don't seem to be able to find a way to make DigiKam to behave like this - although it has some settings to change the image filename according to some mask which may include shooting date, I see no way to tell it to create sub-directories. (Update - as user26687 pointed out, there is a way to create subdirectories like Photos/2011-11-13, but still I can find no way to create separate subdirectories for year, month and day)



Is there a way to make DigiKam to behave like this? Or, alternatively, what is a good program to import images from a camera and save them on disk in subdirectories according to their shooting date?

You can use Rapid Photo Downloader and create whatever directory structure you like using a GUI. Be aware, however, that it works better when you use a memory card reader.
