The "Session Options" already provides a date include option for the import folder [ie. 20140315_Garden] which had lots of flexibility. Export is normally done to that same dated folder.

If I am sending a file to print or to the web I normally export to $(DESKTOP) and then delete the file when the print etc is completed.

Hi,

In the Import From Camera dialog there is the variable $(JOBCODE) that we can use as a part of a folder name or a file name. Is there any reason why this can not be used during export as well? I tried, and it does not work.

I am setting up a new folder structure like this: /home/hpb/Bilder/$(EXIF_YEAR)/$(JOBCODE)/. Inside this folder I have a folder RAW/ for my imported RAW files and a folder JPEG/ for exported JPEG files. Therefore it would save me a lot of work if I could include $(JOBCODE) in the export preset. As it is now my presets contain /home/hpb/Bilder/$(EXIF_YEAR)/JPEG/$(FILE_NAME) and I have to add the jobcode folder manually in the middle.

Also it would be very convenient to have a variable called $(DATE) containing today's date in a chosen format, in my case yyyymmdd. Alternatively the date could be set as a default part of the jobcode.

Best regards,
