| - | ====== How to organize images by date ====== | ||
| - | A classic example of using DropIt is to organize your photos into subfolders named with the file date. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Do it is simple: you can use [[howto:customize_destinations|Abbreviations]] to customize the destination field of your associations. The selected abbreviations will be added in your destination field and during process they will be replaced with the correct file date. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Now are reported some examples of associations. Note that JPG photos generally have "Date Taken" info (//"when you took the photo"//), so you can use it to sort them; instead for the other images you could use "Date Created" or "Date Modified". | ||
