I'm not sure what happened but usually I can download pics from sd card and they go to a folder with the date.  Now each pic is saved individually.  How can I get it back to the way it was before.

    This is Not a behavior we like.

    Giving us a long convoluted path for us to follow to let you know that, is about as unhelpful as telling us we can follow a long convoluted method we can use to manually correct the problem that was automatically started in the last update, rather than just automatically correcting the problem that no one had been clamoring for you to create.

    Yes!!! Finally the right solution. Thank you so much. This has been so frustrating for so long and now I can import photos exactly as I used to. What a relief and a time saver. I'm so grateful!

    This was not a solution for photo downloads that are from multiple days and/or events.

    The photos are still all dumped into a single fold for me to have to create separate folders later. Then, I have to cut and paste the photos into each folder manually. It was easier before this supposed upgrade. It is more like a downgrade.

    Do better in the next update Microsoft. In the mean time, I am searching for a better software program that will do what I want it to do. 👍

    I tried something like that - change destination folder - but it didn't work.  I'll try to follow your steps next.

    Thanks for your comments on this problem - so well explained.  I used to use Picasa but I thought it no longer in use?  I have been driven crazy with this new and awful way that my photos are dumped into My Pictures (even that I had to change as MS had changed the destination and I didn't notice at first - took me ages to find the pcitures!I)

    I often have quite large numbers of photos taken over perhaps a week or more and find it so difficult now to sort, save and organise.  Like several other people on this feed I use my photographs for my (artistic) work and it has become an absolute nightmare trying to find things.

    I have always been against going over to Apple but I am seriously considering it now
