Feature request: Export transformation to original folder

[ilan700]

From time to time I convert several images to JPEG. The original images are not in the same folder. It would be useful for the export transformation to have an option to create the exported file in the folder of the original file. Could such a feature be easily added to PWP 8?

Thanks and regards,

Implemented for the next release.

This was quick. Thanks a lot.

Thanks as well! This may be asking for too much, but I often want to store processed files in subfolders to the original folder (e.g. ./processed_X) or parallel folders at the same level as original (e.g. ../processed_Y). Would that be a viable option to add to Export?

Not so easy to implement as a different user interface would be required just for this case. This would make the dialog box even more confusing than it already is.

I have a suggestion then:

If Folder=Custom, there is the last-used folder path displayed underneath, with the Set Folder button next to it. Clicking on the button opens Windows Browse For Folder dialog box. In it, I can easily choose or make a subfolder or choose or make a folder at the same level as the last-used folder.

If Folder=Original, this path is not displayed.

Could the Original path be displayed and have a Set Folder button as well?

The reason this does not work is that the files in the folder list could come from a number of different folders. To save in a subfolder of the original file means to save in multiple folders. The Select Folder interface just lets you select one folder. It would take a different user interface to make this work reliably.

Got it, thanks!
