Open Media Folder When Choosing Image

[Devo7v]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've been doing a lot of music scraping recently and one of the things that is taking the most time is navigating to each individual album folder when selecting the album art file. I save each album art jpg within the album folder, so if the scraper can't find the album art or I have a higher resolution file I'd like to use, I have to navigate to the album folder every time.

Describe the solution you'd like
When selecting choose image file, it would be great if it would open the folder the media files are saved in. This is where MediaElch is going to save the image file anyways, so why not provide the option to open this folder by default?

Hi,

thanks for opening this feature request. Good point! Indeed, MediaElch should do that.

Please note that, due to limited time, I'm limiting myself to bug fixes mostly. See #1710 for details.

Regards,

I'll have to think about a proper solution. The logic behind it was that the last folder that was used to select an image from is shown in the image dialog.

Because images aren't just simply linked, but copied, selecting the entry's folder by default is probably not a good idea.

My thought is: Why should I show e.g. a movie's directory when selecting an image? The image isn't going to be in the movie's folder, since I'm importing it after all.

Btw, a tip: On many operating systems, you can drag a file (an image for example) into MediaElch's file-selection popup and it will find that file. You can also drag&drop files into the image dialog and it should select the correct file :)
