Photoshop Elements: Photo Downloader on OS X uses wrong [shot date] for JPEG files
I'm downloading photos&videos from a Canon Powershot into Photoshop Elements Organizer 10 on OS X. I want the files to be copied into subfolders named after the [shot date], which worked fine when I used PSE8 on Windows.
With PSE10 on OS X the subfolder names seem to be somewhat random for JPEG files: "1913 03 15", "1969 12 31", "1970 02 03", "1970 02 09", "1975 10 04", ... "2026 01 17". The AVI files are all correctly stored in a subfolder named "2011 11 05".
Interestingly, the dates displayed for each photo in the organizer is correct, it is just the subfolder name that is not created correctly.

Photodownloader.exe
File Version: 7.0.0.24632
Product Version: 7.0.0.221240
I am selecting the desired subfolder name format from the combobox as 'Aufnahmedatum(jjjj mm tt)' but the folders created are named jjjj tt mm.
Example:
Aufnahmedatum (shot date): 23. November 2011
Subfolder name created: 2011 23 11
All worked fine on PSE8 und PSE9.
A fix ist urgently needed.

Le téléchargement des images à partir d'une carte mémoire ne respecte pas la date française AAAAMMJJ mais inverse les mois et les jours....gros soucis dans le classement...Je trouve celà inadmissible pour un produit Adobe.Je précise que je suis professeur de photo à l'université de CAEN (14) et utilisatrice de pse depuis la version 4 et CS depuis la version 3.....je fais travailler les étudiants avec vos produits donc ils les achètent.......Merci de nous trouver une solution rapide par une MAJ.

I seem to be able to switch the error on or off by changing the date format in the General Preferences.
If the format is DD/MM/YYYY then the folder is named YYYY DD MM
If the format is MM/DD/YYYY then the folder is named YYYY MM DD
The create sub folder name options also vary depending on the date format.
I'm in the UK so this may be a regional thing.

I'm sorry, but all my tests were done using a card reader and not connecting the camera.
I was trying with the same card each time. I would import the photos, see the results and then delete them from catalog and disk (using PSE of course) and then set up the next test.
I am willing to try further tests if you would like me to.

It's been suggested that the folder names used by Elements don't matter, since Elements hides this folder interface. But I do sometimes use these folders directly- for example when a friend emails me a set of photos, rather than power up Elements (which takes quite a long time, probably because I have quite a lot of pictures (over 50,000)) I drag and drop these into (roughly) the right folder in "Pictures". Then these pop us as new-found pictures when next I'm in Elements, and I can then give the extra time to classify the new pictures (not least, with the name of the person who took them).

For any programmer this bug should be easy to fix.

Instead of loading into a folder with name JJJJ MM DD it screws the name into JJJJ DD MM. Fix badly needed
