[Feature request] – allow the job code to be optional

Why would anyone want this? I’d like to keep my folder and naming consistent for years to come. I expect at some point I will likely do multiple events on the same day… (that’s almost inevitable,) but I don’t want to create a folder with an event name (or an event subfolder), for the vast majority of days when I won’t have events.

You don’t need to include a job code in either a folder name (personally, I do) or a file name (personally, I don’t – I can infer that from the job code in the containing folder name). If you don’t have a job code in the folder name and you want to find your photos for a particular job/event, you will need some other reference to tell you when this job/event occurred in order to find the photos. With a job code…it’s easy…

Here endeth my sales pitch for job codes.
