I would like to request that we add to the export options. Currently I have been using "Export to: Same folder as original photo" and then moving the sub-folder it creates in Library View, but it would be great to just have the following option:
"Export to: Parent folder of original photo"
Here's my use-case... My photography drive structure looks like this:
- Working Drive
- Pictures
- Clients
- YYYY-MM-DD-ShootName
- RAW
- Edited-JPEGs
- High-Resolution
- Low-Resolution
- Rejects
When I am editing a shoot, I begin with the RAW files. After culling, I move over all 0-star images to Rejects folder. Next, I perform all basic edits in Lightroom and I then export full-resolution full-quality JPEGs to a folder named Edited-JPEGs which currently goes under the RAW folder, then I manually move it to the parent folder in Library view. Then I do any retouching to the Edited-JPEGs in Photoshop. Once I've completed any retouching I then go back into Lightroom and export High-Resolution (smaller than full-resolution) and Low-Resolution files for my clients, which I deliver via digital download.
I would love to not have to bounce back and forth into Library mode moving folders around, it's extra unnecessary steps for me. I also do not want to manually select folders on each export, it's tedious and prone to errors with my ADHD brain.
Exporting to the parent folder with an option in the drop-down would allow me to export with fewer clicks to the desired location and would make me super happy!
