2 years agoHi bella33 - thanks for the additional information and your feedback on this. It's been noted in our system and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
In the meantime, perhaps you'd be interested in the naming conventions feature?

Hi Walter, I looked at the naming conventions feature article and I can see the uploaded photos / files that had been viewed / modified on my phone were saved to DB with the modified date.
I have a folder where I did set the rule to capture date, this folder has multiple folders and it didn't work because I did a test of the rule in a sub folder .
Looks like I have to set these rules for each folder. This is so tedious why would I have 1 rule for one folder and another rule elsewhere for something basic like media file names, I like to have consistent rules across all my files so I don't confuse myself or others. This ability to set a rule to use capture date should be set at the my account level.
