*** *** SUMMARY Digikam should (1) remember the last album on startup and (2) remember which album you just created. Whenever I import, the location points to a random album. Never the last one. Never the album I just created. Never the actually active album. Just a random one. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new album 2. Click import 3. Experience disappointment when you notice that Digicam suggests to import to a random album, and not to the one you just created. 4. Experience additional disappointment when you realize 'Import' does not point to your currently active album. It's always a random album. OBSERVED RESULT 'Import' never starts at your currently active album or the most recently created one. It's always a random album. EXPECTED RESULT Import works on the active album. If I create an album, it's instantly active - and empty. When I click 'import' I want to import in to that album. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma:
digiKam uses the last used album that was imported into. You can also set a fixed target album in the digiKam camera settings. We could also make an option to use the current physical album. But, if this is just a virtual date/tag/search album, it wouldn't work. Maik
For me at least when importing images from a folder on my computer digikam does not remember the last album I imported to. It always appears to go back to an album I last imported to three years ago.
I can't reproduce it, the import tool definitely remembers the last album used. Could it be that we're talking past each other and you mean the "import folder" function? Maik
