Thanks for letting us know your thoughts. For a feature request like 
this there is a series of things to think about, including -

1. How many people want such a feature?
2. How much would it change the user interface?
3. How much complexity does it add to the code?
4. How important is it compared to other feature requests?
5. Who would design it, write it, and maintain it?


I personally can think of plenty of ways Rapid Photo Downloader could be 
improved, some of which I think are quite important. My problem is 
finding the time to actually implement them. Those who used Job Codes in 
version 0.3.x might recall that in the move to the new interface in 
0.4.x, the newer version actually has a less functional Job Code user 
interface than the old one. That upset some folks. The problem, as you 
can guess, is simply finding the time to implement these things.

As a workaround, I very much suggest creating the top level directories 
by hand, and then using the toolbar in the most recent version to select 
the appropriate top level download folder. It's not ideal, but it will work.

With kind regards,
Damon
