Importing images with subfolder creation

Hi

I'd like to have such image folder structure after importing them from my phone/camera etc:

photos/2015/2015-01-20/2015-01-20_18.21.08.jpg
which means: YYYY/YYYY-M-D/YYYY-M-D_h.m.s.image_ext
these data (metadata) should be taken of course from EXIF.

Above folder structure should be created automatically of course, during import, so at the begging (no previous imports) only 'photos' folder exists.

Now it is impossible. On my Windows computer I'm using http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm image viewer to import images and I was able to configure (it is very flexible) its behavior in such a way. gwenview (4.13.1) from kubuntu LTS (trusty) cannot do this. Any chances to implement this feature?

Regards
Piotr

Well, this is only workaround, and not very user friendly. Also the solutions mentioned in the link are outdated. digikam recently gained the ability to create subfolders (from version 4.6 if I remember well and it was a simple fix).

I'd like to have one tool to do this simple task and browse the pictures at the same time and gwenview is ok except his somewhat limited import feature.
Does the current maintainer of the code listen to this forum? Is there a way to send a feature request to him? I know that original author is not involved anymore in developing his nice tool.

Regards
P.

did you look at gwenview-importer? looks close (there is a preview) but you would have to hard code the year folder unless regular expressions are available in the settings

can't answer about the current maintainer

what you can do:
- post a wishlist on bugs.kde.org it should be assigned automatically to the maintainer
- post on the brainstorm forum which provides a way to demonstrate the popularity of an idea
