Title: File Paths
Post by: mgpw4me@yahoo.com on April 30, 2010, 12:03:40 am
When I'm loading an image from a directory (very common for me), I spend time changing directories when I don't think I should have to.  For example, if I load a movie poster, then a cover and then several person images, I have to change the directory for each image type because the file open dialog only saves the most recently used directory.

Having an MRU for each image type would make the image upload process easier.

I considered asking that PREFERENCES -> FOLDERS be used as a default, but I'd hate to overlap the intended function of the file paths (save external images to a folder, versus load images from a folder).  This would actually work fine for me, but I don't have to provide support when things go wrong.

It seems like you need to configure paths in Dialogs section in Preferences -> Folders
Note that you can specify different default folders by selecting the type in the combo box in the right upper corner of the group box, switch the radio button to "specified folder" and enter the path.

The drop-down doesn't have an option for people, or covers.  Maybe I'm missing something here, but it appears it isn't (at least) very intuitive...or maybe I'm just very stupid  ;D

Right, I'll add those in future.

You are welcome to suggest a better approach.

Or I could just admit I'm very stupid  :)
