Import "make a second copy" no longer creates "Imported on..." subfolder?

Question

In Lightroom 2, the option to create a second copy in another location would put the file copies under a new subfolder called "Imported on <date>", but using the image's original file name.  In LR 3, the file renaming system is used (nice!), but the files are not put in new subfolders based on import date, so the second copies all end up in a single folder unless I manually specify a new second copy folder for each import.  Am I missing something, or is there some way to have subfolders automatically created when making second copies on import?

Answer 1

I was happy to see the forced use of "Imported on..." folders has ended, I'd posted about that a year or two ago wondering how we were supposed to remember the day of the week we imported them when looking for a set of originals.
It seemed to me that using a system of year folders with day folders in them might be more practical. At least that's the way I've set up my catalog for the imported files using "Custom Name - Original File Number" naming tokens. (Folder 2010 has files named 2010-01-xxxx for all photos taken in January 2010). Unfortunately, it seems LR won't make the year and day folders automatically for the original files backup.
"Make a Second Copy To:" does let me choose a folder on my backup disk right with all the "Imported Ons" which someday I hope to retrieve orginals from to put into a similar arrangement. Am thinking of doing one folder per month such as 2010-01 and just have the whole month's shots in order by the original file number after the year/month designation.
After looking back at previous years' backups I find many originals sets that were renamed and some that weren't -- assume that LR 2 was doing that. It did seem to have a mind of it's own sometimes.
I found your post as I was going to post suggesting that "Make a Second Copy To" was slightly misleading as my copies for the Catalog are converted to DNGs and I was unsure if these backup files would also be converted. I was relieved to find they are still in the CR2 format but disappointed they do not have my renaming scheme so I could match up with the DNG copy...
...maybe it should say "Backup Original File To".
