having trouble with the auto creation of folders/albums on import.
<br>
The problem is the mapping of the exif creation date to the folder
name.
<br>
For example an image with an exif timestamp of 4/11/2019 17:42
ACDT (Australian Central Daylight Savings Time) is mapped to a
folder 5/11/2019, whereas images taken earlier in the day (I think
before about 15:00) are mapped as expected.
<br>
<br>
Is there a setting to control folder creation mapping on import?
<br>
<br>
Using Digikam 5.9.0 on Kubuntu 19.04

Thanks

<p>I don't mean to hijiack your thread but I'd be interested in this
too. <br>

<p>I've come from Shotwell and I miss its auto-import, which would
create directories based on the exif date in the image. The
directory structure is a simple YYYY/MM/DD hierarchy. I can create
the structure manually and copy photos into the command line but
this becomes fiddly if I have a messy batch of photos to import
over a range of dates.</p>
<p>I looked at DK's import and tried a couple of things but found it
a bit complicated and decided to revisit it later. </p>
<p>At the moment I copy photos into my desired destination manually,
or use the utility: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/ivandokov/phockup">https://github.com/ivandokov/phockup</a> which
does exactly what I want.</p>
<p>But ideally I'd like to figure out how to do this in Digikam if
it's possible. I've found the Digikam import terminology confusing
at times, as I want to import from a local source to another local
location, creating a date structure on import as required.</p>
