Issue #8 new
S Haag created an issue

Hi, can you add the possibility to add 2 or more source folders. I have to phones the upload to separate upload folders and I want Medio to sort it in one destination folder.

Btw. great tool :)

Thanks,

Soeren

    Thanks for the use case. Would it be sufficient to add an option to watch subdirectories instead? i.e.

    Configure which directory to watch: "Unorganized" Include subdirectories (checkbox)

    Then you have two folders under Unorganized: Camera1 and Camera2, for example.

    yes that would be perfect. I have a folder Upload and under this folder there are two Folders for phone1 and phone2. The only problem is that it could be possible that in both folders exist files with the same filename. But i saw that exiftool allows a copy_number (%c). That should solve this problem. Another question: Can you add a second destination format? I want a year folder and under this a folder with the date e.g. 2016/dd-mm-yyy. Or a parameter where you can override the default exiftool parameters.So that i can change it to:

    "-directory<filemodifydate", "-directory<createdate","-directory<datetimeoriginal -filename=%f_%c.%e"

    Thanks :)

    Hey Jonathan, Not sure if this is still in any kind of active development but this would be great to see added. Also the ability to change settings once installed :)

    I'd probably call it passive development 😀. I'm using it day to day and keeping it working as DSM changes, but not really adding new features. Plus, it looks like Synology is moving away from photo station toward momentos...a move I'm not super excited about, but need to investigate.
