Hi,
I'm curious if there is a way to use conversion specifiers in target
directory. I would love to have motion create the directories by
cam/year/month/day partly for speed of loading directories. below is an
example of how I hoped it would work.
target_dir /motion/captures/bydate/%t/%Y/%m/%d/
when I try this it literally creates directories named "%t" and "%Y"
thanks,
JB

Use a cronjob at 0:00 hour to move the files of the previous day to the
required directory.

I mean, this should do what you want:
target_dir /motion/captures/bydate/
picture_filename %t/%Y/%m/%d/file.jpg

I discovered recently that some things don?t work in target_dir. I use
camera name %$ a lot but it?s treated as a literal when I try using it in
target_dir
