When thinking about your download directory structure, keep in mind two different types of directory:<ol><li>The <b>destination folder</b>, e.g. &quot;Pictures&quot;, &quot;Photos&quot;, or &quot;Videos&quot;. This directory should already exist on your computer. In the illustration below, the destination folders are &quot;Pictures&quot; and &quot;Videos&quot;. The name of the destination folder is displayed in the grey bar directly above the folder tree, with a folder icon to its left and a gear icon to its far right.</li><li>The <b>download subfolders</b>, which are directories that will be automatically generated by Rapid Photo Downloader. They need not already exist on your computer, but it's okay if they do. They will be generated under the destination folder.</li></ol>

Whenever possible, the program previews the download subfolders of photos and videos to download:<ol><li>The destination folder tree shows the download subfolders already on your computer (those in a regular, non-italicized font), and the subfolders that will be created during the download (those whose names are italicized).</li><li>The folder tree also shows into which subfolders the files will be downloaded (those colored black).</li></ol>

Although there are many built-in date/time naming options, you may find that you need something different. It's no problem to create your own. You can combine date/time choices to generate new combinations. Supposing you wanted a date format that combines year (YYYY), a hyphen, and month (MM) to form YYYY-MM. You can create it like this (note the red circle around the hyphen):
