Creating a subdirectory for saving .pp3 files

[Lorenzoeffe]

Good morning,
I am writing regarding sidecar and .pp3 files.
Currently you have the option of saving the development in memory, or in the source directory alongside the original file.
This mode offers 2 disadvantages:

• In the first case you create a catalog, with all the merits ...and drawbacks it can produce.
• In the second case (.pp3 files saved next to the original file) there are many advantages, but each folder fills up with sidecar files.

Some other software, such as Capture One, has a method of saving based on the source folders, but that does not involve saving the sidecar file alongside the original file.

It would be convenient to create a subdirectory in the file directory, and save the .pp3 file in that location
This way the sidecar files would still be allocated next to the original files, but the directory containing the original files, would remain clean, not fill up with ghost .pp3 copies
The advantage would be clear even with external viewers,m such as Xnview, with which .pp3 files would not be displayed

To wit:

BEFORE
.../image.raf
.../image.RAF.pp3

AFTER
.../image.raf
.../pp3/image01.RAF.pp3
