use of \ to set an output folder path that is based on filename

I have just upgraded to 4.10 and it seems that I can no longer interrogate the filename to make it part of the output path
e.g. G:\Temp_Pictures\Test Output\<Year Modified>\<Month Modified>\RAW

Tthe above use to work really well but I now see an error message saying can't use <>/\etc in the filename, or am I just using the software incorrectly?

My use case is take photo files from a number of years (all in one source folder) and store them automatically in a folder structure that such as D:\yyyy\mm\jpeg etc

Thanks

I suspect I may need to find an older version of the software as it use to work really well for the above

Update : think its me - I forgot to add some of the above to the Output path and left in it the name section

Hey, that error usually pops up when reserved characters like < > / \ : * ? " | accidentally end up in your folder or file names—Windows won’t allow those in paths.


If you keep running into file path length or naming issues, tools like LongPathTool can help manage, rename, and move files safely—even with tricky paths.
