As a recent Mac convert, I'm struggling with my (admittedly) infrequent photo imports. On my Windows PC I had a program that would copy photos into a directory structure as such, based on date taken not date imported: pictures\year\month\date\image#.jpg
I would like to continue this organization structure if I could but I'm struggling with how to accomplish this in an automated manner. I've copied all my photos to the Mac from the PC in that structure. If I must, I'll import into iPhoto and categorize but I was trying to stick to how I did it. I've gotten into automator a little bit but I'm not sure it can pull the date from the images on the camera.
As I said, if it's easier to just use iPhoto to import and categorize, I'll import and categorize EVERYTHING (~8 years of digital pictures), and have to figure it out as I go. Don't be afraid to tell me to go this route as I've pretty much decided it's the way I'll need to go.
Thanks in advance.
