Explain more to me the problem with dt not preserving the directory
structure. And I do not know if dt's moves are recursive, you may need to
move each individual directory.
I can create the new folder structure locally that is not a problem.
The existing structure is :
home//me/Photos/year/month/projects( maybe up to 4 or 5 )/? sub-projects
If I ask DT to import recursively eg 2013 it will load the images from
all sub-folders. If I then ask DT to copy or move them to a new 2013
destination it will do so but the folder structure below the original
2013 is not recreated in the new target folder and all images end up
getting placed in the new 2013 folder root.
With images going back to 2003, generally 12 sub-folders per year and
then sub-sub folders below that doing the whole thing one folder at a
time would be a real PITA.
Googling the issue resulted in a post from 2014 that suggested manually
editing the DB to change image paths - again, not only does this sound
risky but would need to be done for every folder thus not much to gain
over using the GUI. What I was looking for was a way to eg select
2013/* and move it en bloc whilst preserving the existing directory
structure below 2013.
Cheers
