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.

    Hi folks. While it makes sense for Windows to give you these download options in Photo, and you can do this if you download fro File Explorer rather than Photos. 

    I found this app that will automatically reorganise your photo that have already been imported into the Pictures folder, into date taken folders. Has free and $8.99 versions. NOTE I haven’t tried this yet so don’t know how good it is. 

    Hope this helps someone.

    Hi Devinwolf. My post above has a link with a solution. Use File Explorer to do the import not Photos.

    Hi Devin,

    I am going to be getting an Apple soon!  Another problem I get is a rectangle in the lower right hand corner of screen from Flash Player that I can't get rid of.

    I want you to know, if you don't already, you are God!  Seriously, I just tried this and it worked exactly as it should and as you described!

    One thing, and not sure if it's just me or not: I keep my pics in a 128GB sd card inserted into my laptop.  This method would NOT let me pick that as a destination.  So, I simply created a folder on my c drive called "imported pics" and sent them all there.  Then, I moved them from there (in their dated folders!!!) to my sd card.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I'm sure I'm speaking for many here, as well.
