Bug 294602

Created attachment 68999 [details]
Error popup

I too would like to use "yyyy/MM".

I would like too see this too.

As we have re-written a lots of code in Import tool this summer through GoSC 2012, The entry must be checked again with current digiKam 3.0.0-beta3 (not yet stable), at least to perform regression tests.

Hello Gilles,

I've just tested it with 3.0.0-beta3 and the error is still the same as in the attached example.

I've just tested version 3.0.0 and the popup is the same.

Still a problem in release 3.0.
This folder structure is automatically created in Shotwell, Rapid Downloader, Picasa and others. People moving to Digikam from these want to maintain their structure.

*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***

As a workaround until this gets fixed, you can actually make the import work by:
1. Create the empty folders tree in advance (by script or by hand)
2. Use double forward slash in the Check the Date format, e.g. to "yyyy//MM//dd"

Hope this helps ease the pain.

*** Bug 298035 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

My comment from the another bug: Starting point for fixing this would be ImportUI::createSubAlbum(KUrl& downloadUrl, const QString& subalbum, const QDate& date) or createAutoAlbum() in the same class, in case support for folders should be wanted.

I am using digikam 4.0.0

I have the same "problem"

When i import images, i wont it to be organized like this:

[Folder of year ] / [Folder of month] / [Folder of day ] / [ Picture of the day] 

An example would be like this:
Took a picture 2014-12-25 named picture1.jpeg

When i import the files i want it to be store in my albuns like this:

/home/user/album/2014/12/25/picture1.jpeg

As explained in the description:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Launch the Import Tool
2) Select photos
3) Check the "Date-based sub-albums" and set a Date format to "yyyy/MM/dd"
4) Click on the download button
5) A popup ask when you want to import the photo
6) Choose the album root folder

Actual Results:  
An error popup says:
Album name cannot contain '/'.
(see attached capture)

Expected Results:  
The subfolders needed by the imported photo should be created silently and corresponding photos imported into them.

And as explained by Alan:

As a workaround until this gets fixed, you can actually make the import work by:
1. Create the empty folders tree in advance (by script or by hand)
2. Use double forward slash in the Check the Date format, e.g. to "yyyy//MM//dd"

But i guess is not pretty to have to create manually the folder to make it work

So i guess would not be hard to fix, just check if there is a '/' and create folders if it does not exists.

Thanks
