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 an absolute joke.  I've been doing this for years and years, and it ALWAYS sorted my pics as they came in from my camera into folders by date, YYYY-MM-DD.  Now, one bulk folder and make your own "by date" folders.  Wow, what an improvement, MS.  Who thought this was a good idea, and why does this person have a job with you?

    do you mean that this needs doing every time i import photos ?   i think what we all seem to want is to automatically download photos into dated folders. thanks

    That's what is happening to me as well!

    When I imported photos, they would automatically be sorted in folders and show the date they were taken. For example, if I took pictures on January 1st and more on January 2nd, and imported them at the same time, I would have my photos sorted automatically into two different folders.

    Now they are imported as single photos and stored in Pictures. It means if I take 200 pictures, instead of being sorted into folders by date, they will show as 200 individual thumbnails!
