Description Axel Krebs 2012-06-07 16:36:39 UTC
When working with batch queue manager, one needs to determine to path, where the resulting pic ist safed after processing. 

for my opinion , this is not ergonomical at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run BQM
2. for every batch, you are asked for storage directory
3. rthis is time comnsuming and ineffective


Expected Results:  
I would change the storage strategy: instead of asking storage path for every batch, I wish pics to be safed in the directory of the referring pic. 

Only in cases, one need to store resulting pics _at_ _different_ places, the existing menus should stay.

And why not to plan another idea : to have a default place to store BQM work. 

Look into Camera setup, we have a similar way to config a default download place which will always be used at download sessions. Why not to extend this feature to BQM ?

For me, this is not the idea: loading pics from camera, is step 1.

There maybe days or week to the next shooting session.

When I have some spare time, I do improving, selecting or sizing pics,
completely independent from other tasks.

My original idea refers to this situation: and I suggested, that changed
pics should be at the _same_ place as the originals.

Besides. what do you do, when you work with more than one camera? What,
if a camera does not support a specific storing location as you?

For me, this is a matter of workflow, efficience, and, so to say,
professionality.

Comment 9 Jan Wolter 2014-12-09 17:07:16 UTC
I just tested this issue, and on actual repository version 4.6.0 it works as expected when the "Use original Album" is enabled under target.
Hence, from my point of view, this bug report can be closed.
Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2014-12-09 18:04:35 UTC
Jan,

I think the whish of this entry is to have a default and common place to store processed files by BQM, as it's already exist for Import tool to store downloaded files from camera.

Look in Setup/Camera/Behavior section from config dialog and option "Use a default target album to download from camera"

It's not to much difficult to implement this feature i think.
