Description Michael G. Hansen 2009-07-17 14:23:35 UTC
Version:           0.5 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The file-open dialog used when importing EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata always starts in the users home directory. I think a more sensible choice would be the directory containing the image(s) to which the metadata should be imported. The home-directory is still easily reachable using the "Home" button in the file-open dialog.

The attached patch sets the starting directory of the file-open dialog to the directory containing the first of the selected images.

Note: I used "KUrl::upUrl()" to get the directory containing the image, is this the recommended way to remove the filename from a URL?

In response to bug #207997: Change the behavior to initially use the directory of the first selected image, and re-use the selected directory on subsequent usage of the import tool. The directory is stored only once for Xmp, Iptc and Exif, not independently.
