enhancement #11

Hi I'm actually trying to use your software to synchronize my iphoto album with 
my NAS (Network Attached Storage) in order to backup iphoto library to another 
place, but also make it accessible to the other computers 
(linux,windows,android), and even online with a webserver (photostation).
It's actually working good and all my events are placed in folder and is named 
properly...But there is quite an issue with the chronology because other 
computer and webserver browsing my network disk see it in alphabetical order...

Would it be possible to add an option to add a prefix (such as number and 
separator ie "1 -") before event name while creating new folder?
For the old events creating incrementally folders (1 - Winter | 2 - Summer | 3- 
Autumn) should not be a problem but maybe adding new events after 1st syncing 
between 2 existing folder  could be more difficult...In that case I suggest 
using subcategory such as 1a 1b 1c which can solve the alphabetical order and 
displaying properly event in the right chronology even if they are created 
afterwards

It would help me classifying properly my folder on my network and could be in 
my point of view a good enhancement for other users of phoshare.

Thanks a lot for all you've already done with phoshare It's really amazing to 
find such a good software for free I'm really appreciative of your work

It might be better if we prefix the folders with a date. Just numbering would 
would be problematic (as you suggested yourself) if the order of events 
changes. Phoshare does not have a database where it keeps information about 
previous runs. So if you add or remove an event, all newer events would get 
different number prefixes. As far as Phoshare is concerned, it would have to 
delete all previously exported events, and then create new folders with the new 
names, and re-export all the images.

Phoshare 1.4 now has a template for folder naming. You could for example use
  {yyyy}{mm}{dd}-{name}
to prefix the event names with a date, which should accomplish your main 
objective of keeping the events ordered in the same order as in iPhoto.
