Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux Since I don't save my finished images in the same directory where the RAW images reside, I need an option for making digiKam remember the last directory I saved to. The way it is now, every time I save a new image I have to click, click, click... to get to the right directory. Is there a setting I could change in order to avoid all that clicking? Could there be? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.- In digiKam navigate to the directory where my RAW images reside. 2.- Process an image. 3.- Save the file into a separate "finished images" directory tree. 4.- Repeat steps 2 and 3 hundreds of times. Actual Results: Every time I go to save a newly processed RAW image, I have to navigate to my "finished images" directory tree. Expected Results: digiKam should remember what directory I last saved to. That is how Photoshop works, by the way.

Yes, I use Editor.
Is this digikam 2.2.0? Are you using versioning?
Still using 1.9.0 on PCLinuxOS and 1.8.0 in OpenSuse (tumbleweed). Neither have the 2.0 on their standard repositories. I am not one that likes to go out on my own. I have digiKam configured with one Local Collection pointing to: "/data/Shared_Files/Pictures", which is the root location of all my images. Under that directory, I have two branches, "raw" and "finished". Under those, I have my images stored by "[year]/[date of shoot]". So, when I go, for example, to work on images located in "/data/Shared_Files/Pictures/raw/2011/10-06/", every time I try to Save an image, I have to click on Pictures, finished, 2011, 10-06. That is four clicks. Repeat that for every image and it gets to be too much. Someone sugested making a symlink to the finished directory inside the raw directory. I had not thought of that. That would bring it down to just one click. I just have to remember to delete the symlink when I am done. Either that or make sure I set p7zip to not follow symlinks when I compress the raw folder. Still, the best solution is for digiKam to remember the last directory I saved to. That would mean 0 clicks.
The relevant code has been rewritten with the development of versioning. Save directories should be preserved, any problem experienced with a 2.x version is welcome.
