Events folder flattens all photos even with a subfolder pattern

[fcy]

Observed behavior

Given this setup for my folder structures (gist: the folder immediately before the photos has a full date, this mainly helps with making sure file names are unique specially when the camera counter gets close to restarting; and also has all the information I require in one level of hierarchy, the rest above it is just extra)

I created an event for my holidays travel that span multiple days, instead of having the photos inside the Event folder be separated in their own days they were all added to the same day:

• 2025
  • 05-30 Example event
    • 2025-05-30
      • all the photos from 05/30 to 06/15 (examples)

If these photos happened to span days where the camera counter had reset there would have been file naming conflicts.

Expected behavior

• 2025
  • 05-30 Example event
    • 2025-05-30
      • photos from 05/30
    • 2025-05-31
      • photos from 05/31
    • … and so on for each day, just like in Individual Photos

Steps required to reproduce

1. Set the folder structure like this:
   
   
2. Select a bunch of photos spanning multiple days and add to an Event

The elements of the event folder structure path are all specific to the event as a whole, so this would require an additional organization logic/pattern on top that allows to specify a finer granularity.

The big question there would be where exactly that logic would apply:

1. Only during import: This would have the least impact and conflict potential, but would result in folder names getting out of sync when adjusting image dates later on
2. Continuously: While keeping things organized regardless of date/time changes, this could quickly run into issues with data files that don’t have a date associated, as well as with files that are supposed to be stored next to an image, but for some reason have a different date.

Aren’t these considerations the same for the individual photos? And #2 sounds like one of the goals of Aspect. Did I misunderstood your concerns?

I think my post should/could have been a feature request for the event organization to work just like individual photos but with the event folder as the parent folder.
