<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. There is one minor issue, where DigiKam functions perfectly logically, but yet somewhat unintuitively. That's in the dialog when you want to transfer photos from the camera, and it selects the dir currently selected in the main window as default. Usually, you want the photos in a new dir under the base dir, even if you usually have a dir selected in the main window. What happens is that I usually forget to click the top dir, and create a new dir under the dir selected in the main window. The solution would be to always use the base dir as default.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This may sound like a trivial matter with an easy workaround, and it probably is. However, it's easy to forget to change dir when you are focused on what you want to do. If even I, a programmer, forgets it more often than not, it's probably a common mistake for users to make.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. When transfering photos from the camera, it often contains photos snapped on different dates. It would be nice to have an option to "Ask for a new directory for each date". Thus, I can still transfer all photos in one go, and still have them nicely sorted by date.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Once again, a trivial matter with an easy workaround, but it would provide a more streamlined workflow.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Transferring photos is one of the most time consuming tasks, and is a task where user errors can cause photos to be "lost" by placing them in unexpected dirs. I think this minor changes would make it more efficient and safe, especially for non-technical people.</FONT></P>
