Hi,

Organize file dialog is very powerful. When opening on the first time, the expected destination path is nearly good(see attached picture 1). But if one just want to add the year item -for example-, when you click on "custom format, everything disappear (see attached picture 2) and you have to add all the item again (see attached picture 3) one by one which is a pain.

I know this only occurs on the first time and that normally it should be saved. But it's still quite annoying, b/c most of the time, the first "destination path format" is nearly ok, so I believe when we click on "custom format" check-box, the full path should be initialized with the one visible on picture 1.

What do you think ?

The "organize file" dialog indeed needs a lot of work, not only because it not being intuitive. See also bug 189581...
