To create a folder name preset
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose Aperture > Presets > Folder Naming.
• In the Export dialog, choose Edit from the Subfolder Format pop-up menu.
The Folder Naming dialog appears.
2 Click the Add (+) button to create a new folder name format, or select the preset folder
name format you want to change.
3 Drag the name elements you want into the Format field in the order you want them.
4 Drag a slash between the elements where you want subfolders created.
5 Enter a custom name in the Custom Name field, if you wish.
Note: The Custom Name field is dimmed unless “Custom Name” is one of the elements
in the Format field.
6 Click OK.
Your new folder name format now appears in the Subfolder Format pop-up menu.
When using a counter in your folder name format, you can specify the starting number
and the number of digits, from 1 to 6, that appear in the counter. When you use a folder
name format with a counter, make sure to reset the initial starting number, if necessary.
Otherwise, on the next export Aperture will continue numbering the folders containing
the exported images starting from the last number of the previous export.
