An option to automatically remember the selected image within a folder or project would be very helpful.
At the moment, when selecting a folder or project, the selection status is cleared. This means that if you switch between different folders or projects, you can spend a lot of time scrolling back to the place you were last at.
For example, working through a large number of images in a folder to either add to a project or move to another folder. Any deliberate or accidental click on another folder or project looses the last selection state, so you have to scroll through everything again.
This is essentially the same functionality as the macOS Finder provides, where if browse files in a folder, you can close the folder window and come back later to see the same view that was shown the last time that it was open.
Actually, it was trying to do this that was causing some difficulty.
I had an unprocessed set of images from a project spanning three months. These were originally in many (daily) sub-folders under a common project folder.
Navigating these was painful at best, and trying to drag images in to a project proved error prone (and not undoable!) due to scrolling in the Photo Library panel. So I moved all the images in to a single folder, so at least I could work through the images more effectively, moving selected images to a small number of thematic projects.
But each time that I clicked on a project and then went back to the source folder, the previous position was lost and I was left always looking at the first image.
This was incredibly tedious and frustrating.
An alternative way of working might be to use colour lables, with different colours for different themes, and then create projects by filtering. But I find the keyboard shortcuts for colour labels awkward and when doing this over several days of intermittent editing, I would forget what the colours referred to - and any attempt to check that looses the place in the filtering.
Remembering the last displayed/selected images for each folder is fairly trivial to implement in software and would have resulted in me swearing a lot less at PhotoLab over the last week.
In der Fotothek kann man mehrere Bilder auswählen und dann mit einem Rechtsklick die Photos zu einem Projekt zuweisen.
You can select several images in the photo library and then assign the photos to a project by right-clicking.
Odd that. It seems, all of a sudden, that a quota on votes has been imposed without warning. I tried going back and âreleasingâ votes from earlier topics but it got very tedious and I gave up after the first dozen or so.
DxO had eliminated the vote quota some time back because it was a poorly conceived limitation. Why in the world would they reinstate it? It serves no useful purpose and is detrimental to understanding the amount of interest there is for new feature requests . Perhaps this is a prelude to other changes.
Whatever it is, it doesnât make things easier for us. But maybe itâs easier for DxO, at least, letâs hope so, or the whole exercise would be vainâŚ

When DxO first released PureRAW in 2021 they created the category for PureRAW in this forum. Like all the other product categories it had a âfeature requestâ section but it has never been possible to vote on requests posted in that section.
To me that signalled what was already apparent to any regular visitor to this forum, that voting in any product category was a completely pointless activity.
To me, the imposition of a limit that prevents any voting at all is just the next logical step. Given the glacial pace at which DxO do stuff Iâm not surprised itâs taken them nearly four years to do this.
I agree with that. In the 7 years Iâve been here Iâve come to believe that creating and voting for a new feature request is an effort in futility.
Having said that, years ago we were all limited in the number of votes we had available. A few years back that limitation was removed which begs the question why it has now been reinstated.

I refer you to the latter part of my post.
Plus, Discourse (the forum software) probably doesnât allow the removal of the voting feature from existing topics. Thus imposing a limit is the only way of making all existing feature requests behave in the same way as the never-been-able-to-vote-on feature requests in the ânewâ PureRAW category.
