Hello,

I had a range of images in one catalogue that were saved across two hard drives. I resolved that issue today by 'reconnecting' those folders using the 'Update Folder Location' feature.

A number of folders were direct moves, however some folders on hard drive 'B' needed to be merged with folders that already existed on hard drive 'A'.

That all seems to have gone quite smoothly. However, I now see that within folder '2018' there are several hundred images that have been put into a single date folder (2018-09-07) that were originally taken between 2004 and 2011 and a mix of dates in between.

I don't understand why these images aren't in their correct folders within the year folder that the image was created…

Is there any way I can move these images that aren't in their correct date folders back (or into) the accurate date folder?

Many thanks, in advance.

Check the Capture Date on some of the images. If they are wrong, first update them to the correct date.
Then in the 2018 folder sort the images by capture date. Next select by date the images and drag them to the proper date folder.
