Export into folder structure

[wcowan]

G'day all

I have a question about exporting into a folder structure that matches the originals, rather than into a single folder.

What I want to do is export a jpg version of all of my photos (RAW) from a given year (above 1 star rated, or whatever) into a folder structure with the same names on my media server. A year might contain 100 or more dated and commented folders.

I can't find any way to export into more than one folder at a time, can LR5 do this?

Cheers

Hi William,

I have not tried it myself, but you might have a look at Jeffrey Friedl's "run any command" export filter. A quick read suggests it might do the job.

I suspect David means Jeffrey’s “Folder Publisher” Plugin

I really must learn to wait until the gurus kick in. Thanks, John.

It helps to verify your own answer before you comment though. If I am going to recommend a solution, I'll test my instructions out before I reply and look up a link to include.

Thanks for the heads up John, that plugin will do exactly what I want.

I've just finished with the Folder Publisher plugin. My poor PC was hammering away for nearly a week dealing with over 100K images.

It worked so well I just bought Jeffrey a beer.
