You want to have a picture directory, which has subdirectories for year and month and you want to put files from different directories with different subdirectory-structure into the one and new directory with that new structure scheme? Do I understand correctly? You could use Perl or some other programming language to achieve this. Which OS do you use? Or you could just import the files into shotwell. AFAIK shotwell uses $PICTURE_PATH/<YEAR>/<MONTH>/<DAY>/ as a scheme (like fspot and digikam AFAIK both also do), and that makes sense to me. So, you could just import all files (with COPYING) and this should do it... ...but you looked only for $PICTURE_PATH/<YEAR>/<MONTH>/ and not for $PICTURE_PATH/<YEAR>/<MONTH>/<DAY>/ If you are fine with Year/Month/Day, you could just import the pics, as mentioned above...
