Thanks for your tips on sorting the filename of the photos. However in
Darktable, when I import directly from a camera, or an SD card, darktable
tend to put the images into the folder named with the date of import.
How can I change the behaviour of darktable to putting the images into the
folder named with the file creation date, or better, the exif date instead?
