[Shotwell] We want your feedback: user-configurable directory structure

[stone keeper]

hello,
My opinion is: i like the directory structure like it is now
(8.0.1).  Mostly i can not say that one import from my camera is exactly one
event. The structure for me is getting more and more unimportant, because of
metadata written into files. More important for me: metadata  for all
filetypes (tiff, videos ...) - if possible.

best regards
