      I have files in different directories depending on where they are in my tagging process and it's a pain having to change it any time I want to start doing a different part (or checking what it's currently set to). I have 5 folders to sort through new things I'm in-processing and it would be so much easier if there was a shortcut to switch between them

          Is this now covered adequately with the implementation of PICARD-9 ?

          Here is a suggestion on how to implement this: Put destination directory in a toolbar, with a dropdown of recently used directories (make sure there's an option to clear them or to keep none for privacy) and (this is super important) allow dragging and dropping a folder from Windows Explorer onto the Destination toolbar. Including network locations.

          An easy way to implement this might be to just have the Destination Directory box remember the last 10 entries in a dropdown.

          outsidecontext after all we'd better implement PICARD-9 solution

          Actually what I would like to see is a quick switch for different File Naming settings as a whole. But this is obviously a bit more complex.

          Actually a good idea imho. I wonder how it could be properly implemented though.

          We could have a "Select destination directory...." item in File menu with subitems:

          • currently selected destdir
          • another destdir
          • another destdir 2
          • Edit destination directories...

           

          Other ideas?
