Req: acquire from camera to date based foldername

I'm an almost converted ACDSee user, I just love XnView's speed, but there's one thing that just might drag me back to ACDSee: the acquire from camera feature in ACDSee is much better.

In ACDSee you can configure a folder where it makes a date based subfolder, where it puts the images. For example:

You tell ACDSee to use C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Pictures, and it automatically makes a subfolder '2006-11-10' where it puts the pictures. In XnView I have to create that folder manually.

Oh, found one bug too: If I acquire images from my camera, XnView puts another extension behind the file name. The images are named as IMG_XXXX.jpg on my camera, when XnView has transferred them, they end up as IMG_XXXX.JPG.JPG. I don't think that's intended behaviour.

Ok, i'll check and add your request in a future version...
