Operation Manual

To create a folder name format, you select the name elements in the Folder Naming
Presets dialog. You can specify a combination of name elements to create custom folder
names. You can compose folder name formats that combine the following name elements:
• Version Name
• Master Filename
• Sequence Number (1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5, and so on)
• Image Year
• Image Month
• Image Day
• Image Date
• Image Time
• Index Number (1, 2, 3, and so on)
• Custom Name
• Counter (001, 002, 003, and so on)
• Current Date
• Current Time
• Current Year
• Current Month
• Current Day
• Folder Name
• Project Name
You can also create a hierarchy of folders within folders. For example, you can specify
that Aperture place your images in a subfolder named Date, and within that folder you
can create subfolders identified by the time the image was taken. To create the folder
name format, you drag elements into the Format field and drag the slash element between
the elements where a subfolder should be created.
To create a custom folder name format
1 In the Import browser, choose Edit from the Subfolder pop-up menu in the Aperture
Library controls.
