EXIF date taken — Organize by capture date
Upload author — Assign based on who uploaded the file
IPTC keywords — Match embedded metadata keywords

Multiple rules with priority — Create as many rules as needed, drag to reorder
Stop after first match — Control whether to continue evaluating rules
AND logic — All conditions in a rule must match
Automatic on upload — New uploads are processed instantly
Scan existing media — Apply rules to your existing library with preview
WP-CLI compatible — Rules apply to imports via wp media import
