Download - autocreation of directories

[David Aldred-2]

The ferature in Digikam by which downloadfed pictures automatically go into
directories created according to picture date is great - but there is aone
thing which isn't ideal.

If I downloaded a series of pictures yesterday, the directory created would be
called 2006-11-11, and when doing the download I wouldn have set it to be
created under a higher level directory (in my case, the higher directory is
called just '2006').

If I do the same today, the default locatin for the new directory is under the
one I created yesterday, rather than under the higher-level directory I chose
yesterday.  So instead of having the natural structure of:

2006
 |-2006-11-11
 |-2006-11-12

I would have

2006
 |-2006-11-11
   |2006-11-12

Am I missing a setting somewhere, or do others agree that the more natural
behaviour woudl be for the selected 'base' directory to be maintained between
downloads?

If I remember correctly, digikam always uses the currently opened
album, no?

by default, yes, but you can change it into selection download folder dialog.
You can also create a new one.

Both. You are missing the fact that it is possible when you initiate a
download to select the basedirectory. But I agree this is not ideal,
and indeed the natural thing is that the manually selected
basedirectory will be maintained, until another one is selected.
This is something for the wishlist I suppose.

I had noticed that, and have generally done so.  But it's an easy stage to
forget!

OK: shall I file it as a bug?
