Separate date files.

Photos go into separate date files. How can you get them to go into only one file.

 

do you mean in camera or when they are saved to your computer initially if so which OS etc

 

Welcome to the forum, Rodger. I am not sure but there is a misc. heading on your memory card, you could try saving there, I have never tried it but this may be a workaround for you. In your camera's menu there should be a section on file saving, have a play with this area.

 

Thanks for your response Caladina, I would prefer them as one file on the computer .At the moment I am on Windows10. I can do it manually but it takes quite awhile and I was looking for a quick way.

 

i'm on mac os and i'm thinking it would be the destination file where the action is taking place, i'm ok with the separate date files as its easier to find stuff on the original files
As most photographers do an initial cull when they look at the downloaded files this would be the time to switch them to the single folder, after you done the cull of the dead images you could send all the keepers to a new folder by how ever windows moves individual files on mass, for me there are several way, then the next time you download and do the first cull you do the sae, send the keepers to the same folder as a bunch of individual images and they will all be in the same folder organized how you want, be it by date or tags etc

if i tag my bird images with bird, name of bird where they were etc i can still pull all those up individually regardless of which folders they are in.

i'm pretty bad at bothering to tag images apart from the edited ones so i like to have them in the day folders, i do add tags to each day folder so i can find stuff.

i'm getting ever closer to setting up external storeges so i been waiting to do it all properly,


what would you prefered storage of files be, all dated and in one folder?

 

Great, thanks for this most helpful suggestion.
