           Summary: Import metadata: More sensitive choice of directory in
                    file-open dialog [patch]
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: metadataedit
        AssignedTo: kde-imaging at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mhansen at mghansen.de


Version:           0.5 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The file-open dialog used when importing EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata always starts
in the users home directory. I think a more sensible choice would be the
directory containing the image(s) to which the metadata should be imported. The
home-directory is still easily reachable using the "Home" button in the
file-open dialog.

The attached patch sets the starting directory of the file-open dialog to the
directory containing the first of the selected images.

Note: I used "KUrl::upUrl()" to get the directory containing the image, is this
the recommended way to remove the filename from a URL?
