How to get right folder name/location on import?

I can't seem to get LR 3.x to import into the desired folder structure like I used to do with
LR 1.x and 2.x.  I'm trying for a structure that looks like this:
I want LR to automatically create a folder with the date stamp in it and located in the right year and then let me enter the the last part of the folder name that identifies the subject matter before the import starts.  So far, all I can get is the auto-generated folder name by date with no ability to edit that or a fully custom folder name where I have to both locate it properly and type the entire name including date.  In LR 1.x and 2.x, this was really easy.  LR would suggest the folder name (or multiple folder names if the images span multiple dates) with the date in it and I could just double click on it to add to the supplemental name before the import.  Can't find any way to do that in LR 3.x.  What it means is that I have to do the import, wait for it to complete, then come back and manually rename each folder it created.  This is particularly a pain when there are multiple folders (across multiple dates) and/or when my backup program has already kicked in and done a backup of the auto-generated date before I come in and manually rename it.
So, my question is, how do I get LR to auto-suggest the right date-based folder name in the right folder location and let me add something onto the end of it before the import?  This was very easy in LR1.x and 2.x import.

It slipped under the radar when redoing the new import window.
Hopefully, we'll get it back in next major update. In the meantime. you
can add the additional text post import by right clicking on folder name
then choosing Rename from context menu.
Thanks Ian.  I hope it does indeed come back.  Renaming the directories manually is what I do now - it just extra work from how I used to do it and it doesn't fit smoothly into the workflow because LR seems to get confused sometimes if I rename while it's still importing or while still building thumbnails.  For a big import, that means I have to go away, let the thumbnails build, then remember to come back promptly to rename the directory before my backup scheme starts backing up the wrongly named directory.  I've managed since 3.x came out, but it finally annoyed me enough I thought I'd post in hopes I was just missing a way to do this.  I sure hope this comes back in a future version.  Organizing by named "shoot" is a very natural way for me to do it.

  • Getting the folder name of the service in Tomcat 5.5

    Hi,
    I am using Tomcat 5.5.
    I have a problem getting the folder name my service is located in.
    Ex.
    \webapps\myApp\...
    Here i would like the string "myApp" - does anyone know how to get this?
    The reason for this is that i use a war file to deploy "myApp". I have a set of properties which i don't want to change so I put them in a file outside "myApp" called "myApp.properties". I can then easily change between a test environment and my online environment.

    I don't think you understand his answer.
    Reading properties files from the file system directly is a mediocre solution at best for a web application. Even if it happens to work in this particular situation.
    For example you would be better off loading properties from a single properties file as classpath loaded resources and simply using the context as a key to the properties in question. You could also configure this from web environment parameters specific to the web application.
    Anything that puts a hard dependency on a particular file system layout is a bad idea, anything that reads files from within a web application server is likely to be a brittle solution.
    This may work, for you, in your current circumstances, but you need to understand why this is a poor approach in general.

  • How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

    I received some important emails in my spam folders when I checked them with Safari, but Apple mail does not have them in Inbox or Junk folder. How to get Spam folder in Apple Mail?

    In the mailbox list, below the word "MAILBOXES" and the standard mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, & Junk), you should have some lines like "SMART MAILBOXES", "REMINDERS", "RSS", "ON MY MAC", and a line with the name of each of your mail accounts. Each of those lines may have subordinate lines indented below it, or they may be hidden. Before Lion, the top-level lines would have standard disclosure triangles to their left like folders, but Lion Mail removed that visual clue in favor of a word "Show" or "Hide" to the right that appears only when you mouse over it.
    The Gmail Spam folder you seek is two folders deep inside your Gmail account.
    Here's my Gmail account listing:
    It has 41 unread messages. If I hover my cursor over the oval with "41" in it, the oval shifts left and "Show" appears. If I click on "Show", I get this:
    If I click on the disclosure triangle left of the "[Gmail]" folder, voila!
    By the way, this intermediate "[Gmail]" folder is specific to Gmail, Google Apps mail sites, and other mail sites using Google's Gmail code, as is the All Mail folder. Other servers will have their own folder structure.

  • How to get trash folder in finder?

    How to get trash folder in finder?

    Hello Neil,
    Here's a challenging adjunct to the physical location of trash question above.  I moved home folder of my login to a different partition (data only) which all worked fine.  Then I trashed the original home folder which was on the Boot OSX partition (just to be tidy as it was not needed any longer) now the MBA says "cannot logon to this user for the time being".  So I clearly need to return the original home directory back from trash to my logon folder (eve though it is not really used).
    However, how can I access my original logon user directory in trash when I am unable to logon?  Logged on to the root directory and using your go to folder solution above I have found the trash for root but I am unable to find the trash for my actual logon (which contains the trashed home directory)!
    Any thoughts sir?  Thanks for your help.

  • How to get Sequence File Name ?

    Hello everybody !!
    I'm using TestStand 3.1 and i would like to get sequence file name. I've tried to use NameOf() function, but without success.
    Of course, I've searched previous posts about the same question, but nothing works.
    Is there someone able to tell me how to get sequence file name ?
    Thanks a lot.
    MrOrange

    MrOrange,
    first of all, the solution i will present only works for saved sequence files.
    you got all information you need within TestStand itself, just browse for RunState.SequenceFile.Path. here you can find the filename. but the path of the file is also included in the string, so this is a part you have to get rid off.
    you can use statements to extract the filename from the path. just search the string for the last occurence of "\\" (searchinreverse!) and then you can retrieve the right() part of the path. beware that right() needs the number of characters you want to extract, not the startindex!!
    hope this helps,
