Downloading pictures wont save in folder by date

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.

microsoft think thEy own your pc just because of windows. they keep changing things to make it worse and not better. my next computers are going to be apple from now on. done with MS BS! I WANT MY PICTURES DOWNLOADED TO A FOLDER WITH THE DATE TAKEN JUST LIKE IT USED TO. NOT SPENDING HOURS SORTING PICTURES. LEAVE MY COMPUTER ALONE PLEASE!

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

Of course that's beside the point.

Microsoft used to allow you to do this with Photos. Now they clearly believe that it is better for the algorithms they create arbitrarily to organize them for you virtually, rather than actually having some organization that you can even use across operating systems. 

Overwhelmingly, people want this option back. Although there are extraordinary solutions that can be achieved with other means, Microsoft used to have it as the default code. Now it isn't even an option.  Furthermore, every subsequent update defaults things according to the way they want you to do it.

Microsoft, once again, imagines that all of its customers are programmers who delight in the exact same methods of organization as their Artificial Intelligence. 

I guess they want endless class action suits. This is exactly the behavior that leads to them. 

Here's another angle:

I provide service to the end user. Many of my clients are elderly. They couldn't care less how well a computer can sort through images and arrange them according to face recognition. They want to be able to file their Reno pictures in a Reno folder. Failing that, they want them in folders based on date. Plus, they want everything that happened in Vegas to stay in Vegas (if you know what I mean). In order to accommodate that, they have to hire someone to help them organize, and teach them how to use whatever system has been added, or how to respond to the Microsoft algorithms. Guess what? It costs them money to hire someone to do that. If Microsoft left well enough alone, they wouldn't have to pay someone to help them. 

Microsoft, stop forcing end users to have to get into the minds of programmers and AI enthusiasts.

People will end up going to programs like Picasa, and then signing on to the class action suits when they happen. 

Mind-boggling.

Thanks Cameron for your helpful comments. I've just uploaded abut 4 months of mobile pics and noticed all the pics. were in file manager but not in the usual folders. They are all in the Photos App there doesn't seem to be a way to get them to File Manager.  Grateful to pick up this thread but is MS listening!!!     

Anyway of direct contact with them?.

I have ddone that multiple times. It will notnchange the destination to the new folder. It just stays the same.

In case this NOT a behavior you like, you may open start and search for feedback and open Feedback Hub app and share your concern, make sure elaborate like how it used to be and how it has been changed and why you don't like this new improvement.

Just to clarify , it is like seeing all photo in one folder, is that correct?

You could sort them with date and in case you open then in Photo app, they have been sorted by date , so there shouldn't be any issue.

However, in case you concern about this change, you may share it through Feedback Hubapp.
